Introduction to AOP

JavaPulse.net has started a new series aiming to introduce AOP - Aspects Oriented Programming. Check out the first article in the series.

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm that aims to promote desirable software characteristics that have been difficult to implement in the current OOP (Object Oriented Programming) technologies. Desirable software characteristics include the DRY principle (Don’t Repeat Yourself), 1:1 modularity, information hiding, and separation of cross-cutting concerns. Examples of cross-cutting concerns are logging, security, transactions, remoting, caching, lazy instantiation, and even business logic.
