Hi,

we have a large application that has a fat client interface as well as
a tapestry 5 web front end.

Tapestry 5 IOC is marvelous and we would like to use it in our client
application. Using tapestry standalone turns out to be easy, however I
have two related issues:

1. I'd love to use @Inject in our code
2. We have our own @Delegate annotation to generate a bunch of
delegate methods for a field (this is for use with the jgoodies
binding framework when extending beans with additional functionality)

Currently we have our own classloader that uses javassist to modify
the classes and I implemented a javassist Translator to do the donkey
work.

Digging through Tapestry I found
contributeComponentClassTransformWorker(), so this seems like a good
mechanism to add a transform to deal with our @Delegate annotation.
Unfortunately this is the point where I got lost.

I cannot add this into the standalone application IOC AppModule, as it
uses a bunch of tapestry classes that are not in the IOC package,
specifically InjectWorker. So do I need to roll my own for use in a
standalone application?

As far as I can make out these annotations are only processed in
classes loaded through the IOC registry? As I would like to modify
classes that are not loaded through the registry I would need to do
this through the class loader. Sounds as if this could cause problems
when running with Tapestry?

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks!

Adriaan
