Using HotSwap for Implementing Dynamic AOP Systems
Shigeru Chiba, Yoshiki Sato, Michiaki Tatsubori · 2003
This paper presents our Java-based dynamic AOP system called Wool.For better performance than other systems, Wool is implemented with our novel technique exploiting the HotSwap mechanism recently introduced by the Java2 SDK 1.4. This mechanism allows us to dynamically reload a class file to update the class definition. However, naively using this mechanism does not improve execution performance. This paper mentions how this mechanism should be used with others to really improve performance
