RE: [aspectj-users] List of main users

["DiFrango, Ron" <ron.difrango@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my daytime job, we have been using AspectJ for 2+ years now on a Java
Swing [Client/Server] call center application. We use it in the following
situations:


Architectural:
- Enforce that no System.out or System.err's are called in production code
- Enforce that no error or exception logging occurs outside of the aspects
that handle exceptions

Code:
- Implemented the template method for code where we did not want to change
the external interface.
- Implemented the proper removal of all property change listeners from all
Domain objects.  This actually helped us correct a memory leak in our
application.
- Implemented the initialization and retrieval of all cacheable data at
login.


Testing:
- For our performance testing, we needed to suppress/auto answer dialog
boxes so we put this in an aspect.  This is also used in our unit testing.
- Disabling of the RMI server we use to limit one running instance of our
app.
- Enabling error simulation for our data layer [JNI/JDBC/XML] to help with
unit testing.


And the standard stuff like:
- Performance monitoring
- Logging
- Exception handling

Overall, we have estimated that the aspects we have implemented so far have
reduced maintainable code by at least 10%.

Thanks,

Ron
