AspectJ(tm): Aspect-Oriented Programming in Java

Abstract

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) gives software developers a powerful new tool for structuring the design and code of software systems. AOP simplifies development of system aspects that previously were among the most difficult to handle, including failure handling strategies, synchronization policies, change propagation, security checking, distribution, policy enforcement and many others. AOP using AspectJ makes it possible to describe, in just one place in the system, the implementation of such crosscutting aspects. This reduces development time, improves software quality, and makes software more flexible. This talk will show what it is like to design and implement with AspectJ, and what implications this has for software developers in terms of time-to-market, software quality, and product flexibility.
