[aosd-discuss] Any AOP implementations using VM-hooks?

[Andreas Frei]

Hi Eric

I know of two projectw which are using the JPDA to weave aspets at
runtime without modiving the jvm.

PROSE: 
-----
http://prose.ethz.ch, this one uses the jvmdi, on each joinpoint the
debugger will execute code which has been identified in the
aspect-advice.
	
paper: Just In Time Aspects: Efficient Dynamic Weaving for Java;2nd
Intl. Conf. on Aspect-Oriented
    Software Development, Boston, USA; A. Popovici and G. Alonso and T.
Gross

Wool: 
----
	paper: Workshop on Advancing the State of the Art in Runtime
Inspection (ASARTI), ECOOP'03 (Shigeru Chiba, Yoshiki Sato, and Michiaki
Tatsubori)
	A Selective, Just-in-Time Aspect Weaver; Proceedings of the 2nd
International Conference on Generative Programming and Component
Engineering (GPCE '03); Yoshiki Sato and Shigeru Chiba and Michiaki
Tatsubori
	
	for this one I couldn't find an open source implementation, but
Chiba et al. uses in their implementation the JDI (the highest layer of
the JPDA. 


cheers, 
Andreas
