Allow mixtures of interfaces and classes in proxys
--------------------------------------------------
Key: ARIES-821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-821
Project: Aries
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Proxy
Affects Versions: proxy.impl-0.4
Reporter: Timothy Ward
Assignee: Timothy Ward
Fix For: proxy.impl-0.4
The new interface proxying code is able to create very fast dynamic proxy
classes for arbitrary sets of interface (like a better JDK proxy). With a small
amount of effort we can also allow this code to specify an arbitrary superclass
for the proxy being generated. This will allow us to generate proxys that add
interfaces to the class being proxied.
This may not sound very useful, but it means a blueprint bean Bar, that extends
AbstractFoo, and implements Baz, can be exposed as an AbstractFoo and a Baz,
but not a Bar. This works even though AbstractFoo does not implement Bar! This
is the sort of thing that the blueprint spec was talking about when it says
that beans/references should only expose the methods on declared interfaces.
