One concrete use of AOP that I've seen that actually makes a lot of sense is Spring's declarative transactions. They are implemented using AOP so, for example all of your DAOs can be configured to be transactional. On Jul 23, 3:56 am, Jess Holle wrote: > I don't actually have any flames for the

Could it be possible that Sun's line of thinking might be release an unencumbered TCK to Apache for Java SE 7, when it finally becomes specified. This TCK would likely be built from the ground up to address the weaknesses in the TCK for Java SE 6. I would imagine from a cost perspective that Sun
