Good AOP Usage

A lot of articles about AOP tell us how great it is, but few of them make a good case out of why and when to use AOP. I have not tried much aspects and remain a bit sceptical. Reckless usage could lead to a pretty confusing system that is hard to maintain. In this article on the JBOSS matrix Bill Burke follows up on some debate and posts some comments on when to use Aspects. Good read.

Portal Community on java.net

Excellent, finally a central resource for Java portals and portles. Check it out here. Looks like I’ll have to take a closer look at Liferay. Whish it could run without EJB though.
