Featherweight Wrap Java: wrapping objects and methods

By: Lorenzo Bettini, Sara Capecchi, Elena Giachino

Abstract

The authors present a type safe extension to Featherweight Java with the notions of wrapper class and object.Wrappers allow specializing (wrapping) methods at run-time: the method of the wrapper will be automatically executed after the method of the wrapped objects, using a delegation mechanism.
