Aries Proxy cannot proxy abstract classes
-----------------------------------------
Key: ARIES-801
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-801
Project: Aries
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Proxy
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Timothy Ward
Fix For: 0.4
The proxy component is unable to proxy abstract classes. This is just plain
silly for the subclassing code, which should already be able to do this
trivially and is definitely a bug.
It should be possible to augment the dynamic interface proxy code so that it
can extend "woven" abstract classes too, treating any abstract methods as
"interface" and simply setting the superclass properly. Because the interface
generation code extends the existing weaving code this is effectively the same
as loading and weaving a real concrete subclass that has zero length
implementations of the abstract methods.
Interestingly it should also be possible to add interfaces to these dynamically
generated woven subclasses. I'm not sure whether this will be useful or not,
but we should get it for free.
