Interface ProxyWeavingController

public interface ProxyWeavingController

Services of this interface are used by the ProxyManager's weaving implementation to decide if a specific bundle should be subject to weaving.

If multiple ProxyWeavingController are registered all will be consulted to decide whether to weave or not. As soon as one service says to weave a class then it will be woven and following services may not be consulted.
