Re: [aspectj-users] newbie AspectJ questions

[Luke Taylor <negaton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been looking at AspectJ a lot recently (just finishing Adrian et
al's book at the moment) and I'm also a developer on the Acegi project.

I suspect Ben has already had some discussions on this topic, but if you
have some good ideas for improving (and extending) Acegi's use of
AspectJ we'd love to hear them.

cheers,

Luke.
