Solution: Weaving is the process of applying aspects to your target objects.

Solution: AspectJ compile-time weaving is done through a special AspectJ compiler called ajc.

Solution: AspectJ load-time weaving (also known as LTW) happens when the target classes are loaded into JVM by a class loader.

Solution: You need only to add a VM argument to the command that runs your application. Then your classes will get woven when they are loaded into the JVM.

Solution: To turn on a suitable load-time weaver for your Spring application, you need only to declare the empty XML element context:load-time-weaver.

Solution: To use the AspectJ weaver, you need to include the spring-instrument.jar

Solution: Objects created outside the Spring IoC container are usually domain objects. They are often created using the new operator or from the results of database queries.

Solution: To inject a Spring bean into domain objects created outside Spring, you need the help of AOP.

Solution: When a class with the @Configurable annotation is instantiated, the aspect will look for a prototype-scoped bean definition whose type is the same as this class.

Solution: Spring includes AnnotationBeanConfigurerAspect in its aspect library for configuring the dependencies of any objects, even if they were not created by the Spring IoC container. First of all, you have to annotate your object type with the @Configurable annotation to declare that this type of object is configurable.
