Using the Policy Injection Application Block in ASP.NET

One technique becoming increasingly popular with developers is the adoption of an Aspect-Oriented Programming AOP model. AOP provides techniques for changing the behavior of business objects and other classes through the application of policies, making it easier to implement common crosscutting concerns such as logging, validation, exception handling, caching, and...

Separating Concerns and Advising Domain Objects

Advising objects to separate concerns is an extremely powerful pattern. Spring-like approaches to AOP are fantastic choices if few instances of the advised class need to be created. However, many domain objects do not fall in this category. AspectJ is a full-featured AOP implementation that is designed to advise both...

Aspect Oriented Programming and Internationalization

Aspect-Oriented Programming AOP, although specialized in nature, can facilitate a range of useful separations of concerns. One such area is Internationalization (often called "I18N" because of the 18 characters between the first and last letter of the word). I18N is big business in a global software marketplace. In this paper...

A Safe Aspect-Oriented Programming Support for Component-Oriented Programming

This paper shows that Aspect-Oriented Programming AOP can be safely supported by Component-Oriented Programming COP by providing a way to control the openness of a component with regards to AOP techniques. The proposal reconciles the intrusive nature of AOP with the "Black box property" of components in COP. The authors...

Writing Mixins sing AspectJ

Aspect-Oriented Programming AOP complements object-oriented programming in many ways. One interesting complementary feature is behavior composability. This means that it should be possible to compose a class by adding behavior from different classes. OO uses inheritance and many patterns to add behavior to existing classes. AOP allows the developer to...

Implement Your Own Proxy-Based AOP Framework

Aspect-Oriented Programming AOP is well-suited to managing application crosscutting concerns, such as logging, security, and transaction management. AOP provides a complement to Object-Oriented Programming OOP, which is still the most common and powerful methodology to address the core business concerns. AOP can reduce code scattering, tangling, and duplication in applications.

Spring: Services and AOP

It's not the service; it's how one applies it. One can get a whole lot more leverage out of certain services like transactions, security, and logging by packaging them and using them in a way that simplifies them and eliminates duplication in the rest of the code. Spring uses Aspect-Oriented...

Component-Based Software Development With Aspect-Oriented Programming

Middleware for component-based software development already provides some separation of concerns between the components implementing the business functionality and the component environment implementing the infrastructural services. However, the implementation of the services is usually not modularized, making it hard to adapt the platform to application specific needs, to exchange services...
