Presentations
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.

To allow the creation of truly modular software, OOP has evolved into aspect-oriented programming. AspectJ is a mature AOP implementation for Java, now integrated with Spring.
AspectJ in Action, Second Edition is a fully updated, major revision of Ramnivas Laddad's best-selling first edition. It's a hands-on guide for Java developers. After introducing the core principles of AOP, it shows you how to create reusable solutions using AspectJ 6 and Spring 3. You'll master key features including annotation-based syntax, load-time weaver, annotation-based crosscutting, and Spring-AspectJ integration. Building on familiar technologies such as JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Security, Spring MVC, and Swing, you'll apply AOP to common problems encountered in enterprise applications.
This book requires no previous experience in AOP and AspectJ, but it assumes you're familiar with OOP, Java, and the basics of Spring.
"Clear, concisely worded, well-organized ... a pleasure to read."
-From the Foreword by Rod Johnson, Creator of the Spring Framework
"This book teaches you how to think in aspects. It is essential reading for both beginners who know nothing about AOP and experts who think they know it all."
- Andrew Eisenberg, AspectJ Development Tools Project Committer
"Ramnivas showcases how to get the best out of AspectJ and Spring."
-Andy Clement, AspectJ Project Lead
"One of the best Java books in years."
-Andrew Rhine, Software Engineer, eSecLending
"By far the best reference for Spring AOP and AspectJ."
-Paul Benedict, Software Engineer, Argus Health Systems
"Ramnivas expertly demystifies the awesome power of aspect-oriented programming."

Modularizing code into objects cannot be fully achieved in pure OOP. In practice some objects must deal with aspects that are not their main business. A method to modularize aspects-and benefit from a clean maintainable result-is called aspect-oriented programming. AspectJ is an open-source Java extension and compiler designed for AOP development. Now integrated with Eclipse, NetBeans, JBuilder, and other IDEs, AspectJ v1.1 is ready for the real world.
It is time to move from AOP theory and toy examples to AOP practice and real applications. With this unique book you can make that move. It teaches you AOP concepts, the AspectJ language, and how to develop industrial-strength systems. It shows you examples which you can reuse. It unleashes the true power of AOP through unique patterns of AOP design. When you are done, you will be eager-and able-to build new systems, and enhance your existing ones, with the help of AOP.
What’s Inside:
- What is aspect-oriented programming?
- How AspectJ works with JAAS, Jess, log4j, Ant, JTA, POJOs
- Best practices and design patterns
- How to implement policy enforcement resource pooling and caching thread-safety authentication and authorization transaction management business rules

Java is a powerful and fast maturing development platform used to create client/server applications on any platform. XML is the most recent markup language, a standard format for the universal sharing of data and an intrinsic part of all major development both on the Web, and in the wider business community. Enterprise web applications are increasingly combining Java and XML technologies to provide more efficient ways to integrate Internet presence with business systems in the world of e-commerce.
This core professional compendium breaks down into three main sections. The first presents the basic XML standards, Java APIs and programming tools for handling XML. The second part presents a selection of Java techniques which make up the building blocks for XML-based applications. The section is Java-centric, and presents the common scenarios for XML data I/O, building on the basic tools presented in part one. The final and largest section of the book shows how XML applications can be built on top of the techniques shown in part two, and demonstrates how XML can be used to solve real programming problems.
If you want a hefty box of XML manipulation tools at your disposal and would like to discover how the language could be used in your Java applications, then this book is for you.
