Using Aspect-Oriented Programming for
Debugging, Instrumenting and Architecture-Enforcing 

Karl Lieberherr

Abstract:
The talk explains the concepts of Aspect-Oriented Programming
and applies them to working with Java programs using
the programming language AspectJ.
The focus is not on writing new functionality in AspectJ
but on how to better work with existing Java programs using AspectJ.
Simple examples will be given in the context of banking.

For this purpose, AspectJ can be used today in commercial projects because
the production code will not contain code written in a relatively new language.
AspectJ is only used for speeding software development by
providing simple facilities for inspecting, debugging and
instrumenting objects and to enforce software architecture.
