AOP is not just a little side utility, it's a whole new angle on coding. <<< I'm looking for ways to put *harder* shells around pieces of well-tested and well-designed functionality, not for ways to slice them open even more. The article you cite makes a big deal out of "loose-coupling" (the buzzword of the decade) as a goal for AOP. I'd rather accomplish that with asynchronous messaging. Austin is right, we don't need AOP. ------=_Part_5694_7755386.1150292129022--
