Re: [aspectj-users] newbie question on how to use AOP
|
Not wrong at all, but not 100% :) most people just starting off down the AOP road tend to think of aspects as something separate from their core business logic and traditional application architecture - and sometimes this is absolutely fine.
Aspects, although commonly used as additional to core business logic as implemented using traditional classes, *can* be an actual part of your core business architecture. This would be the case where a cross-cutting concern was something more than a passive aspect like logging. For example, I have applications where the threading is controlled using aspects - this is actually part of the business logic - it just so happens that the cross-cutting thread logic is better designed and implemented in aspects. Same can be said for design patterns, see Jan Hannemann's work at http://www.cs.ubc.cal/~jan/AODPs/, these patterns are absolutely core to your application but benefit from AO refactoring in some cases.
So, you're definitely doing great but you'll find that the more AO software development you do the more the AO approach and perspective will permeate through your designs. This is perfectly natural and often a good thing.
Have Fun!

<x-tad-bigger>For example, this means that if we use aspects for logging, pure java code should execute as well in both cases, with and without aspects. Of course, logging will be performed only in case where aspects are used…</x-tad-bigger>
