I'd be interested in an AOP framework over at Jakarta for sure - though first things first :-). Lets try to get a common API to runtime attributes. I'm hoping we can unify the Nanning and XRAI efforts to runtime attributes, then the Java platform will have its own version of C# attributes. Then AOP-interceptor stuff could be built on top of commons-attributes. But yes in principle, I'd love an AOP project (maybe using Nanning as a base if Jon is interested?) and Jakarta Commons seems a good place for such a thing to start. > Just a minor suggestion: do you mean to > make Attributes a singleton?

The Attributes class is really just meant as a simple facade, like the LogFactory in commons-logging. Other mechanisms for accessing an AttributeFinder could be added; for example if commons-attributes were used in an IoC framework then the AttributesFinder could be pushed into an object etc. James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
