Adding aspects to OSGi JAX-RS resources

Vote count:

I'm looking for a way to add certain functionality to JAX-RS resources in an OSGI environment. Annotations seem to be a clean way to do this and I've seen it done in the Spring framework (no experience). Annotations such as @Transactional, or (what I wanted to do, requires a permission flag to be set on a user) @Permission(CREATE). However, I'm a bit stuck on how to do this in an OSGI environment.

The normal way(is it?) to go about adding aspects would be to register an aspect service that wraps the original service. If I looked it up correctly, JAX-RS resources are tracked and hooked up to an HttpService. JAX-RS resources do not implement an interface and proxies would need to be dynamically created.

How would I dynamically generate OSGI aspect services/resources that effectively hide the original resource from the JAX-RS tracker that hooks it to the HttpService? I have zero experience with existing AOP frameworks and barely any knowledge of AOP itself.
