I didn't realize you expected a tutorial in aspect orientation! The gist: byte codes are transformed ("weaved") on load. Its irrelevant whether you have the

  Not necessarily a tutorial. However in response to a specific question I would hope for a specific pointer on how you might do that specific thing. The link you gave me the second time was far more helpful for re-evaluating aspect-oriented programming's capabilities in this regard than the manual. In particular I am now convinced that it can do things that I had not previously realized were possible.

    Theoretically, aspect orientation can even reach inside the code that is being modified: join points can include loops and branches, but aspectJ does not provide that functionality. Anyway, the point that I was making is that virtual method dispatch coupled with virtual machines afford the possibility of models of indirection that are more efficient, more expressive, and formally declarable.
