Re: [aspectj-users] AOP and Industry

[David Boeren <dboeren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got back from JBossWorld and they have several new projects which 
are using AOP heavily.
Looks like EJB3.0 is also pretty strongly AOP-based.  What's happening 
is that Java 1.5 annotations are
becoming markers for aspects, this is similar to some usage in .NET.  By 
flagging a class/method with the
annotation, you are signalling for an aspect to be applied there which 
provides some service like management,
transaction control, or whatever.

Thing is, it's not obvious that the annotation implies that AOP is going 
on, so it might slip under the radar.
