package org.aopalliance.reflect;
This interface represents a locator on a base program piece of
code.
The AOP Alliance implementation provider should provide code
locators implementations in order to support several kinds of code
locators (e.g. as the ones used in the Code
interface).
The AOP Alliance client program gets the locator by navigating the base program metamodel (using the reflect package) and using the get...Locator(...) methods.
Code locators are quite different from unit locators.
