Rewriting EOF + new Bugs + Lots of Man Hours = Existing EOF + AOP Patched Code + Few Man Hours The only issue I would say which is an issue is maintenance of the patched code. Since aspects reside outside and integrate at runtime, it will be difficult for someone to trace where the bug is lying (in EOF or in the patched code) unless it's well documented. The choice is in the hands of community but I think we should give AOP a try before we start rewriting the whole EOF or go for alternatives, it's much faster to test. After all, I will do what Romans do in Rome :) Farrukh
