Enterprise AOP with Spring and AspectJ

Enterprise application development is a gold mine for applications of AOP. There are many crosscutting concerns found in a typical enterprise application, ranging from well-known security and transaction management to application- and technology-specific concerns. Using AOP leads to implementations that are easy to understand and easy to change. When we combine Spring with AspectJ, we get a pragmatic AOP solution. This demo-driven session shows how to implement common functionality needed by typical enterprise applications, with a focus on web applications.

In this session, you will learn how to implement functionalities such as monitoring, exception handling, policy enforcement, transaction management, fault tolerance, and security. You should be able to take these ideas and implement them in your own projects and reap the benefits of AOP.
