To allow the creation of truly modular
software, OOP has evolved into aspect-oriented
programming. AspectJ is a mature AOP implementation for
Java, now integrated with Spring.
AspectJ in
Action, Second Edition is a fully updated, major
revision of Ramnivas Laddad's best-selling first
edition. It's a hands-on guide for Java developers.
After introducing the core principles of AOP, it shows
you how to create reusable solutions using AspectJ 6 and
Spring 3. You'll master key features including
annotation-based syntax, load-time weaver,
annotation-based crosscutting, and Spring-AspectJ
integration. Building on familiar technologies such as
JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Security, Spring MVC, and
Swing, you'll apply AOP to common problems encountered
in enterprise applications.
This book requires no previous experience in AOP
and AspectJ, but it assumes you're familiar with OOP,
Java, and the basics of Spring.
"Clear, concisely
worded, well-organized ... a pleasure to
read."
-From the Foreword by Rod Johnson, Creator
of the Spring Framework
"This book teaches you how to
think in aspects. It is essential reading for both
beginners who know nothing about AOP and experts who
think they know it all."
