Hi,
Being fairly new to aop, I'm still finding my feet but I'm increasingly
becoming a fan of using annotations as markers rather than
complicated pointcut expressions. Actually there would still be pointcut
expressions, but to me they are more readable if all
they are doing is deciding where self descriptive annotations should go.
The ability then to specify annotations in a deployment situation in an
aop.xml file would be amazing for us because at the
moment the dev team have to sweat over how much tracing to include and
which logging levels at build time.
Cheers
- Ashley
