Applying changes directly in the source code

rhp Dec 8, 2010 1:55 PM

I need to make changes directly in the source code before compilation be made by the javac compiler.

That is, I intend that the changes should be made on the source code and not the byte-code.
My idea is to use AOP to do this operation.
But, from what I could understand, JBoss AOP only can apply changes in programs already compiled (run-time). Or, compile and weave on same time with aopc (compile-time).
Am I correct?

Thanks,
Rui

Thanks Flavia

Do you know some way, using JBoss AOP, or another AOP framework, capable of apply changes directly in source code?

My problem is that I need of compile Java programs that are not totaly correct syntactically.
For example, execute an object method from an unknow class.
So, replacing that method invocation, by the equivalent Reflection code, I can invoke that method without knowing what is her class.
