[aspectj-users] Is there any REAL logging (tracing) example of AOP

[ilker kiris <ilker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

I must admit that I'm a new bee on AOP. 
From the examples and papers that I can see, logging is commonly used as
an example. 
But in real life, logging tools are mainly used as tracing tools. 
Meaning, in various parts of code, different strings need to be printed
to logs. 
In that case all these logging examples DON'T really apply. 
Because the examples that I see, assume the logging is used to print the
name of Class:method:parametersPassedIn for each method. 
But this is NOT how logging is used (as a trace). 
Hence I don't see how AOP can be used for logging. 
Any AOP logging example that addresses what I'm saying here?
