I am pleased to announced the release of AspectWerkz 2.0.RC2

2.0.RC2 comes with feature completion as compared to 1.0:

• cflow() is supported


• handler() pointcut for use with before advice is supported

It comes with several bug fixes - thanks to all of you who provide feedback, test case and major fixes - many thanks to The Mindstorm, David Teare and the Summa team.

Aside, AspectWerkz 2.0.RC2 comes with new features:

• custom proceed() method, to easily change advised target argument values from within
  an around advice. Read more here.


• per instance interception framework, to programmatically configure advices for a given instance only at runtime. Read more here.


• AW Proxy aware of the underlying aspects. Our custom proxy framework allows to use proxy (AspectWerkz proxy or CGLIB proxy) and have them be aware of the aspects at no extra cost. The performance of the AWProxy is comparable to straight AOP, they can be used with per instance interception, but they do not require the use of the weaver. The main drawback is that only method and constructor execution of non private / non final method can be advised (as for all proxy based AOP out there).

We also release AspectWerkz 1.1, a maintenance release for AspectWerkz 1.x.

We hope you will give a try to 2.x instead of upgrading to 1.1 !
