An Aspect-Oriented Implementation of the EJB3.0 Persistence Concept

This paper demonstrates the power of aspect-orientation by implementing the EJB3.0 persistence framework. The authors' approach has advantages over existing mapping tools: flexibility is higher as the functionality can be freely implemented and extended to user's needs. Aspect-Orientation (AO) is a recent technology that helps to develop software in a modular manner. AO is a promising solution for a better code structure. It aims at providing systematic means for effective modularization of crosscutting concerns by avoiding scattering of code.
