Are you reinventing metaclasses/metaobject protocols/metaprogramming? Are you thinking of something like the jdo bytecode enhancer to add these metaclass activities to the compiled class?
Unless you actually change the bytecode to perform these operations in the class I'm not sure what the advantage of putting the metadata in the class rather than in an xml file is. I certainly agree that metaclass programming is extremely powerful. david jencks On 2002.05.17 23:32:23 -0400 Dain Sundstrom wrote: > David Jencks wrote: > > > 1.
