A few interesting things happened in the Java world today. First off, some of the technologies coming in Java 1.5 are available by preview.
Also, JBoss is preparing a new version that uses aspect-oriented programming. JBoss's offers an explanation of their new aspect-oriented programming system. However, if you are using a different classloader (such as with Tomcat and it's .war files), you are out of luck, since JBoss needs to control the classloader. I need to play around with this stuff to see what is possible.
