Class SimpleIntercessor

java.lang.Object

jmplib.SimpleIntercessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

IIntercessor

public class SimpleIntercessor
extends java.lang.Object
implements IIntercessor

An intercessor of classes. This class is the main fa�ade of JMPlib and provides all the primitive support (add method, replace method, delete method...) and the methods that allow to create invokers for the new members.

Version:

1.3 (Redondo) Duplicate code with IntercessorTransaction moved to IntercessorUtils. Added many new primitives to manipulate imports, annotations and generic types. This intercessor and the transactional one now implement the same interface. This intercessor uses the transactional one to perform their operations, so the code is no longer duplicated.
