RE: [aspectj-users] (no subject)
|
Title: Message
I
haven't read any white papers on the subject but I can tell you what my personal
experiences with it are. My group is building a web application framework
we're calling the Toolkit and AspectJ is one of the technologies
we're using. The Toolkit isn't finished completely yet but we have
used it develop a demo wireless application that we've shown to customers.
The biggest problem we've encountered with AspectJ has been the support from the
development tools. We're using IBM Websphere Application Developer 5.0
with the AJDT eclipse plugin and in that it works great except for one
problem. One of the major features of AspectJ, intertype declarations,
doesn't seem to work for classes that we use in JSPs. We think this is
because the JSP compiler does not yet support aspects. Also we like to use
Rational Rose to model our system but the current version does not have AOP
support.
Besides the feel stumbling blocks that we've encountered AspectJ is
a great software development tool. With certain problems that crosscut the
entire system the AOP way feels more natural than the copy and pasted
look of traditional OO. If you don't feel completely ready to trust it it
can be introduced slowly. We started out that way but once we saw the
benefits of using we started using it everywhere.
Once
the industry starts to accept it more those problems will be fixed. In the
meantime we feel it is best to get on the forefront of technology rather than
being behind the curve.

Hi,
I am currently
working at Virtusa, and we are looking into the possible uses of AOP based
languages here. One of our concerns is the product readiness of AOP languages
such as AspectJ.. I was wondering if anyone has come across any papers or
usability studies on the subject. Some of the papers I have read have been
rather vague, mentioning that they feel it isn't ready for mainstream
use, however fail to specify why. Any feedback would be
appreciated.
Thank
you
