allow dynamic access to getters and setters..

[emaayan]

hi..

i have a bean which not always need to allow accesss to it's getters and setters, (based on infomation from a hasmap which says which properties should be accessed.

i was thinking, that an advice before the setter is activated could throw an exception.

is this correct? or is there a better way?

AOP sounds like the way to go - however, note that the advice will kick in after the applicationContext has been configured (during the configuration if you are using the setter for configuration it will be used as such - just making it clearer).

the applicationContext is configured only once as i understand from the webcontainer, the behviour i'm talking about should occur in run-time during the life of the application is that ok?

Yes - that's fine; this is how things are supposed to work.
