Re: [aspectj-users] Dynamic attachment of the aspect javaagent

[<Richard_Whitehurst@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We were looking at creating a tool that could be used without modifying an existing application.  An example might be to attach to a Tomcat web server where locating and modifying the start up (script, service, bat file) might be challenging.

Thanks,
Dick

Hi,

I don't recall the exact discussion about it from the mailing list.

Nothing has been actively done in this area - not sure we even have an
open bugzilla for an enhancement.

Completely dynamic attachment, I guess something might be possible
there if communicating with the JVMTI interface. Simpler might be to
run with javaagent but have it turned off (checking some kind of flag)
until something occurs that switches it on (sets that flag).

Do you have a specific use case that requires dynamic attachment?

cheers,
Andy
