OSGi Framework Weaving Hook Service.


Bundles registering this service will be called during framework class
loading operations. Weaving hook services are called when a class is being
loaded by the framework and have an opportunity to transform the class file
bytes that represents the class being loaded. Weaving hooks may also ask the
framework to wire in additional dynamic imports to the bundle.

 When a class is being loaded, the framework will create a WovenClass object for the class and pass it to each registered weaving hook service for possible modification. The first weaving hook called will see the original class file bytes. Subsequently called weaving hooks will see the class file bytes as modified by previously called weaving hooks.

public interface WeavingHook {
	
Weaving hook method.
This method can modify the specified woven class object to weave the
class being defined.

 If this method throws any exception, the framework must log the exception and fail the class load in progress. This weaving hook service must be blacklisted by the framework and must not be called again. The blacklisting of this weaving hook service must expire when this weaving hook service is unregistered. However, this method can throw a WeavingException to deliberately fail the class load in progress without being blacklisted by the framework. 
Params:
  • wovenClass – The WovenClass object that represents the data that will be used to define the class.
Throws:
  • WeavingException – If this weaving hook wants to deliberately fail
        the class load in progress without being blacklisted by the
        framework
