"Pope Paul V ordered Bellarmine to have the Sacred Congregation of the Index decide on the Copernican theory. The cardinals of the Inquisition met on 24 February 1616 and took evidence from theological experts. They condemned the teachings of Copernicus, and Bellarmine conveyed their decision to Galileo who had not been personally involved in the trial. Galileo was forbidden to hold Copernican views." Dave, I've participated in the evolution of distributed systems of the past 10 years, DCE, CORBA, and now J2EE implementations. System level aspects are just the next iteration of the same theme. The difference being that the AOP paradigm finally let's you separate your business logic code from your distributed infrastructure. You will see. Everybody will jump on the AOP bandwagon eventually. I'm just glad JBoss is a leader this time rather than being just a J2EE chump follower.
