Listing a number of good uses of spring AOP

[zollen]

1. Performance monitoring by measuring the elapsed time of target method calls.
2. Database transaction management.
3. Printing out all input parameters of target method calls.
4. Dynamic Exceptions handling (i.e. generating a email report when target exceptions are thrown)


Can you think of more examples?

AOP is typically used for "cross cutting concerns". Anything that is a cross cutting concern is a use for AOP.

All the things you've listed are crosscutting concerns.

I'd suggest reading this:

Interestingly, the professor of my Software Engineering course in grad school worked with the original developer of AspectJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Kiczales) at PARC during his sabbatical in 1999-2001.

In my spring-mvc application am using for following two purposes:

• Audit Trail for portal user actions for some critical features
• Masking some user data eg. SSN when exposed to portal/outside database
