Aspect weaving for OSGi

ABSTRACT

This will be a live demonstration of aspect weaving for OSGi. Attendees will see how aspects can be modularized into OSGi bundles using Equinox Aspects, a load-time weaving extension for Equinox. The demo features full OSGi dynamics for aspects at runtime and using Equinox Aspects together with Spring Dynamic Modules.
