Description

Class Summary

AutoDiscovery	Provides methods for automatic discovery of all metaobject protocols listed in the /META-INF/services/org.dynalang.mop.BaseMetaobjectProtocol resources of all JAR files for a particular class loader.
BottomMetaobjectProtocol	An implementation for "bottom" metaobject protocol, one that returns authoritative answer for all methods, and claims nonexistence (and non-callability) for everything.
CompositeClassBasedMetaobjectProtocol	A MOP that is composed of ClassBasedMetaobjectProtocol instances.
CompositeMetaobjectProtocol	A simple composite MOP that uses a chain of other MOPs to carry out its operations.
MetaobjectProtocolAdaptor	This class can turn any BaseMetaobjectProtocol into a full MetaobjectProtocol by implementing the MOP methods using only the Base MOP methods.
MetaobjectProtocolBase	A convenient base class for implementing a MetaobjectProtocol that requires you to only implement MetaobjectProtocolBase methods on it.
StandardMetaobjectProtocolFactory	A class with static utility methods for creating a "standard" MOP.

Package org.dynalang.mop.impl Description

This package defines classes that help in implementing MOPs as well as creating (mostly composite) MOP instances. A simple composite MOP is provided, as well an adapter to convert any base metaobject protocol into a full metaobject protocol, and a base class that can be used to more easily (if not the most optimally) implement custom MOPs.

Also, the package contains utility classes for automatically discovering MOP implementations available in a classpath of any class loader and for creating "standard" composite MOPs that merge all available MOPs in the classpath into one. To use existing MOPs, you will usually only need these facilities.
