Aspects in Distributed Environments

Abstract

We illustrate how to combine CORBA as a distributed system with aspect-oriented programming (AOP) and the resulting positive impacts. In particular, we focus on the question how AOP can be applied to a CORBA application aiming at a better separation of concerns.

The paper shows with implementation examples a practical way to package the distribution issues of a CORBA application into separated aspects (with AspectJ). This supports the distributed application design and leads to increased flexiblity.
