JPOX runtime operates on classes that implement the PersistenceCapable interface. To achieve ths in a convenient way JPOX provides a byte-code enhancer to add in the necessary PersistenceCapable methods. JPOX's enhancer relies on JPOX Core providing the MetaData definition handling capabilities for the classes to be enhanced. To enhance each class, the enhancer requires a "ClassEnhancer". JPOX currently provides 2 ClassEnhancers.

• The original ClassEnhancer using the Apache BCEL library. This was originally developed by Kikuchi Kousuke but has since been extensively reworked to adapt to JDO2s requirements. This is stored in packages under org.jpox.enhancer.bcel
• A new ClassEnhancer using the ASM library. This is much faster and more lightweight than the BCEL variant and has better support for JDK1.5+ features. This is stored in packages under org.jpox.enhancer.asm
