this is nice.
what i do like about it
* you can inject anything anywhere
what i dont like is
* post constructor injection like youve mentioned - delegate or not it still
sucks, a different pointcut is needed
* you have to keep your variables transient - very easy mistake to make,
otherwise big boo boo might happen if the dependency is serializable and you
wont know until much later
* you have to inject everything - ie i cant take an instance of injected
service and pass it to some other component to use
* i dont like @Configure on the entire object, i like per-field annotations
on the fields
* you have to have access to the java runtime args to install the weaver
what is needed to fix this
* a different aspect that wraps the bean in the wicket-proxy just like we do
now - that should give you the ultimate freedom, but then what worries me is
if tomcat will let you cluster objects loaded through aspectj classloader.
