Release: Weaving Hook Service Specification 1.1

Weaving Hook Service Specification 1.1

Bytecode weaving is a popular technique that transforms class files to provide additional functionality. This is a powerful technique that, when used with care, can significantly reduce the coding effort for mundane programming chores.

This specification provides a means for a handler bundle to intercept any bundle class loading calls in the framework, transform the byte codes, and add new dynamic imports. A means for observing the final weaving results, both before and after they take effect, is also provided.
