[aspectj-users] AOP breaks modularity question

[Luca Ferrari <fluca1978@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I don't want to start a flame and my question is not really the one in the 
subject. I often heard than there's a group of people saying that AOP breaks 
modularity, and another (which I agree with) that says that it improves 
modularity. One reason used from the latter is that the OOP programmers 
usually breaks modularity to reach their aims. This is the sentence I'd like 
to investigate, because I'm not sure I get it well. I think that, since 
modules must combined together to build up a complete system, such modules 
must provide ways to interact each other, thus breaking their modularity or 
better their "isolation". Is this what that sentence means? Any pointer to 
documentation, examples, or papers?


Thanks,
Luca
