Aspect Oriented Programming

 

I'm not a Java developer, however I'm very interested in AOP, and I'm sure this tutorial it's going to provide me a lot of ideas about AOP.

 

AOP is presented as an evolution to OO and Component Based Programming, it's a kind of interception mechanism that allows you to define a kind of queries to select the types you want to intercept. During the interception you can act before, after or in the whole execution of a method. The typical things you can do with aspects are:

  • Logging
  • Transaction Management
  • Tracing
  • Performance Analysis

 

But the point I really loved is the ability to set design time rules to analyze your current design, for example, in a MVC pattern you could check that the View never talks directly with the DataBase.

And if you want to play with AOP from the .NET world here is an early version of AspectSharp: https://aspectsharp.sourceforge.net/

 

 

Have fun !!
