Re: [aspectj-users] Applying Aspects to business applications

[G Balaji <gopinathanbalaji@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

One possible business "aspect".

I have a Point Of Sale software which allows for many ways of making sales. If I wish to introduce
a discount or a discount scheme, I could define an aspect which captures all sales-making calls
and applies this discount scheme. I could vary the discount, or the discount scheme itself, based
on the customer (loyalty programs), total sales, marked items in the sale etc.

Modeling discount schemes as an aspect allows me to vary the scheme at runtime, transparently and
uniformly apply it across all sales, and make it effective even on yet-to-be-defined sales.
