import org.springframework.instrument.classloading.LoadTimeWeaver;


Activates a Spring LoadTimeWeaver for this application context, available as a bean with the name "loadTimeWeaver", similar to the <context:load-time-weaver> element in Spring XML. 
To be used on @Configuration classes; the simplest possible example of which follows: 
@Configuration
@EnableLoadTimeWeaving
public class AppConfig {
    // application-specific @Bean definitions ...
}

The example above is equivalent to the following Spring XML configuration:

<beans>
    <context:load-time-weaver/>
    <!-- application-specific <bean> definitions -->
</beans>



The LoadTimeWeaverAware interface
 Any bean that implements the LoadTimeWeaverAware interface will then receive the LoadTimeWeaver reference automatically; for example, Spring's JPA bootstrap support. 
Customizing the LoadTimeWeaver
 The default weaver is determined automatically: see DefaultContextLoadTimeWeaver. 
To customize the weaver used, the @Configuration class annotated with @EnableLoadTimeWeaving may also implement the LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer interface and return a custom LoadTimeWeaver instance through the #getLoadTimeWeaver method: 
@Configuration
@EnableLoadTimeWeaving
public class AppConfig implements LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer {
    @Override
    public LoadTimeWeaver getLoadTimeWeaver() {
        MyLoadTimeWeaver ltw = new MyLoadTimeWeaver();
        ltw.addClassTransformer(myClassFileTransformer);
        // ...
        return ltw;
    }
}


The example above can be compared to the following Spring XML configuration:

<beans>
    <context:load-time-weaver weaverClass="com.acme.MyLoadTimeWeaver"/>
</beans>



The code example differs from the XML example in that it actually instantiates the MyLoadTimeWeaver type, meaning that it can also configure the instance, e.g. calling the #addClassTransformer method. This demonstrates how the code-based configuration approach is more flexible through direct programmatic access. 
Enabling AspectJ-based weaving
 AspectJ load-time weaving may be enabled with the aspectjWeaving() attribute, which will cause the AspectJ class transformer to be registered through LoadTimeWeaver.addTransformer. AspectJ weaving will be activated by default if a "META-INF/aop.xml" resource is present on the classpath. Example: 
@Configuration
@EnableLoadTimeWeaving(aspectjWeaving=ENABLED)
public class AppConfig {
}


The example above can be compared to the following Spring XML configuration:

<beans>
    <context:load-time-weaver aspectj-weaving="on"/>
</beans>



The two examples are equivalent with one significant exception: in the XML case, the functionality of <context:spring-configured> is implicitly enabled when aspectj-weaving is "on". This does not occur when using @EnableLoadTimeWeaving(aspectjWeaving=ENABLED). Instead you must explicitly add @EnableSpringConfigured (included in the spring-aspects module)
