“…Dynamic AOP [8,10,67,72] is widely recognized as a powerful technique for dynamic program adaptation. Hirschfeld and Kawamura [39] use dynamic aspects for integrating third-party services and debugging live mobile-communication systems.…”

“…In static AOP approaches such as AspectJ, weaving happens at compile time or load time. In dynamic AOP approaches [8,10,67], aspects can be deployed and undeployed at runtime. Thus, dynamic AOP allows aspects to adapt the behavior of applications to changes in the requirements and runtime environment [72].…”

“…The Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm [50] provides language support for improving the modularity of crosscutting concerns. Furthermore, with dynamic weaving (i.e., the dynamic integration of aspects with the process [8,10,67]), the application's behavior can be adapted at runtime.…”

AO4BPEL: An Aspect-oriented Extension to BPEL

Process-oriented composition languages such as BPEL allow Web Services to be composed into more sophisticated services using a workflow process. However, such languages exhibit some limitations with respect to modularity and flexibility. They do not provide means for a well-modularized specification of crosscutting concerns such as logging, persistence, auditing, and security. They also do not support the dynamic adaptation of composition at runtime. In this paper, we advocate an aspect-oriented approach to Web Service composition and present the design and implementation of AO4BPEL, an aspect-oriented extension to BPEL. We illustrate through examples how AO4BPEL makes the composition specification more modular and the composition itself more flexible and adaptable.

“…We then say that there is a wrapping chain. This situation raises a composition issue that we discussed in earlier papers [26,20]. This issue is beyond the scope of the current paper: basically we define composition rules that specify the order in which the wrappers must be applied to the base object.…”

SUMMARYIn this paper, we present the JAC (Java Aspect Components) framework for building aspect-oriented distributed applications in Java. This paper describes the aspect-oriented programming model and the architectural details of the framework implementation. The framework enables extension of application semantics for handling well-separated concerns. This is achieved with a software entity called an aspect component (AC). ACs provide distributed pointcuts, dynamic wrappers and metamodel annotations. Distributed pointcuts are a key feature of our framework. They enable the definition of crosscutting structures that do not need to be located on a single host. ACs are dynamic. They can be added, removed, and controlled at runtime. This enables our framework for use in highly dynamic environments where adaptable software is needed.

The goal of aspect-oriented programming is to modularize crosscutting concerns (or aspects) at the code level. These aspects can be defined in either a general-purpose language or in a language that is fine-tuned to a specific aspect in consideration. Aspect-specific languages provide more concise and more readable aspect declarations but are limited to a specific domain. Moreover, multiple aspects may be needed in a single application and combining aspects written in different aspect languages is not an easy task.To solve this combination problem, we represent both aspects and aspect languages as modularized logic metaprograms. These logic modules can be composed in flexible ways to achieve combinations of aspects written in different aspect-specific languages. As such, the advantages of both general-purpose and aspect-specific languages are combined.
