AOP: Spring Framework

I have recently been playing around with a layered Jave/J2EE framework called Spring. I came over a package called ‘aop’. That package really drew my attention on it. Thus I looked into a few classes that seemed to be the core one’s. It seems that they have built an AOP framework based on an open source project called AOP Alliance that provides the basic AOP constructs without the need of a special AOP language like AspectJ. They have done it using the Reflection API Java provides.
Given a similar API in Flash it would probably be possible to create a similar AOP framework for it. But that’s something I’m presently just dreaming about.
They have written a ‘little’ chapter on the aop framework called: Aspect Oriented Programming with Spring. I’d suggest you to refer to this article if you wanna learn more about it.

    Hoh, i have seen the package too and got a little introduction by Juergen. I recently lost a lot of time in research. Lets see what it brings.
