CGLIB Comes to Rescue

In my previous blog entry, I talked about the problems that we ran into when trying to use a proper template mechanism in combination with a given object model. The problem had to do with the fact that this object model does not expose all of its interesting properties as bean properties. In an attempt to solve it, I figured that it should be possible to provide StringTemplate a virtual copy of the original network of objects, and that CGLIB would help to get it done.

Here's what it would look like. I don't have the time to explain everything in detail, so expect more about this at a later time.
