Without Extending

[SandNerd]

Is there anyway to use the library without extending base classes?

Also, out of curiosity, why didn't you use the dispatcher/listener approach over the code-injunction approach commonly used with AOP?

Thanks.

Hello sahal2080,

sorry for the very late reply.

The library currently only works by extending a base class. The idea behind the library was that you will only ever have to extend one class and all behaviours you need can be composed using it.

I'm also a bit confused about the suggested approaches you mention. We are using a dispatcher/listener approach.

Unlike proper AOP, this library doesn't use the equivalent of java agents bytecode weaving to do its work. It uses reflection at class creation time to create a list of listeners to dispatch events to.
