Seam uses javassist, but we use it to generate proxies not to  
instrument the code.  Since Seam doesn't control classloading, there's  
no direct way we could do that.  JBossAOP has really nice support for  
this type of instrumentation, but of course this would only be a  
viable option on JBoss where JBoss AOP is around and hooked into the  
class loading process.
