AspectJ audit
Hello,
I am going to develop AspectJ audit tool to work with PRPC.
The idea is to write Java aspect with point-cuts to for audit of certain Java-method calls. By means of com.pega.pegarules.pub.runtime.PublicAPI I can read PRPC step page content anytime, and extract required information from XML, but i need to intercept the proper java class method invocation (as configured in point-cut) to do it.
As far as I understand, PRPC is bundle-based system. Hence, I will occur the same problems as in OSGI applications: not all classes will be woven. Thus, I wont have the way to intercept all required metgod calls. How this problem is solved in Equinox you may read here: http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/weaving/ .
Could you give me an advice how to do correct load-time weaving in PRPC ? Do I need to develop my own weaving tool or any out-of-the-box solution exists already?

I don't think there is any way that you can intercept activity rules in PRPC applications, because the the runtime Java classes which represents the activities do NOT exit until the activities are being called. Aspect programming is the concept living in the world of PRPC engine which is written in Java, it is not a valid concept in the world of PRPC application which is a bunch of rules wrriten in XML.
