Abstract
Current component platforms usually consider only a limited set of non-functional properties. Integration of these aspects is moreover handled in a rather static way. This article elaborates on possible uses of existing meta-programming facilities, notably interceptors, for custom integration of orthogonal middleware facilities. The concept is demonstrated with a concrete example of transparent client-side caching in Enterprise Java Beans. Further use cases exploiting the same principle to achieve adaptivity in the context of the COMQUAD project are presented in the second part.
