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.
