[aosd-discuss] Who is using AOP in industry?

[Dean Wampler]

Most of the usage is probably somewhat "indirect" through Spring AOP,  
JBoss AOP, and tools like Glassbox, in the Java/AspectJ world. There  
are also some .NET AOP frameworks, but I don't know anything about  
industry uptake there. You might google these topics and see if you  
can find any direct experience reports, etc.

There are "AOP-like" [1] things done all the time by users of dynamic  
languages (e.g., method "wrapping", intertype declarations); they  
just don't usually call it "AOP". I've been working in Ruby lately  
and most of the important toolkits, including Ruby on Rails and  
RSpec, contain examples of these things.

Good luck,

dean

[1] By "AOP-like", I mean that they are doing the simple things I  
listed, but they are missing unified modularity mechanisms for  
encapsulating aspects and, in particular, describing pointcuts with a  
powerful pointcut language of some kind. Hence, non-trivial aspects  
still involve a lot of metaprogramming hacks.
