/**
 * {@link LoadTimeWeaver} which uses reflection to delegate to an underlying ClassLoader
 * with well-known transformation hooks. The underlying ClassLoader is expected to
 * support the following weaving methods (as defined in the {@link LoadTimeWeaver}
 * interface):
 * <ul>
 * <li>public void addTransformer(java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer):
 * for registering the given ClassFileTransformer on this ClassLoader
 * <li>public ClassLoader getThrowawayClassLoader():
 * for obtaining a throwaway class loader for this ClassLoader (optional;
 * ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver will fall back to a SimpleThrowawayClassLoader if
 * that method isn't available)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Please note that the above methods must reside in a class that is
 * publicly accessible, although the class itself does not have to be visible
 * to the application's class loader.
 *
 * <p>The reflective nature of this LoadTimeWeaver is particularly useful when the
 * underlying ClassLoader implementation is loaded in a different class loader itself
 * (such as the application server's class loader which is not visible to the
 * web application). There is no direct API dependency between this LoadTimeWeaver
 * adapter and the underlying ClassLoader, just a 'loose' method contract.
 *
 * <p>This is the LoadTimeWeaver to use in combination with Spring's
 * {@link org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader}
 * for Tomcat 5.0+ as well as with the Resin application server version 3.1+.
