"The State of AOP" by Ramnivas Laddad
Sponsored by Interface21
Abstract
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a programming methodology whose time has come! This talk will survey all the new things that has been happening in the world of AOP.
AOP aims to solve a class of problem known as crosscutting concerns abound in enterprise applications: logging, tracing, dynamic profiling, error handling, service-level agreement, policy enforcement, pooling, caching, concurrency control, security, transaction management, business rules, domain driven design, and so forth. AOP provides an elegant solution in each case.
AspectJ is the leading implementation of AOP for Java. The output produced by the AspectJ compiler is compatible with the Java byte code specification. This talk will explain the AOP concepts, introduce the AspectJ language and its integration with Spring, and show many application of AOP. After this talk, you will have clear understanding of AOP, its usefulness to your applications.
