Foundations of AOP for J2EE Development

Foundations of AOP for J2EE Development covers a relatively new programming paradigm: aspect oriented programming (AOP). The concept of an aspect was originally defined in 1996 by Gregor Kiczales and his team at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), a subsidiary of Xerox in California.

The last part of the book is dedicated to the development of J2EE applications with AOP. J2EE is well-known for being a rich and somewhat complicated framework. The authors show how AOP can ease this task and how AOP benefits J2EE.
