title: AspectJ - Compile time Weaving With xml configuration
body: <p>I am trying to create a java aspectj (using @Aspectj annotation) framework which will silently capture data and publish it to another system when it is integrated with Java service components ( JBOSS , Tomcat). For example, The framework will support capturing Request and response data of the service APIs and data loaded from Database by the service for the API call ( there are more kind of data will be captured other than example that i have provided) .  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Service component owner will provide a xml which will map the domain object methods to specific aspect method for capturing data.  ( Service owner can decide certain DB data is not needed to be captured.) </li>
  <li><p>For the component services to use this capability, they will compile the service component with the jar that provide using aspectj-maven-plugin. ( I would like to go with compile time weaving rather than load time weaving as it may influence the runtime performance of the services ).   What I am trying to achieve is that aspectj compilation should consider the xml and map the pointcut and advice according to xml configuration to the aspect class methods.  </p>
  
  <p>With extensive browsing on this topic, i see that it is possible with spring xml configuration.  For the spring xml configuration, every domain object ( for which advice code needs to be injected) has to be either a bean or annotated with @configurable.  It would be impossible to modify all service domain objects to be annotated with @configurable.  [Added Point ] Spring XML ( Spring AOP) will not work for me as it is Load time weaving. so this point is not valid.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>so the question is that "Is it possible to enable compile time weaving of AspectJ(annotation) using xml configuration ( point cuts and advice map to aspect methods) ?" </p>
