---

Using aspect-oriented programming (AOP), global properties of a program, such as logging, auditing, declarative transactions, security, and caching, can be added to your application after you've developed the core features.
This course explores the core concepts of AOP before getting hands-on with one of its basic features, the pointcut.
Examine the fundamental terminology and use cases of AOP before adding functionality to an application by defining and configuring a function (an aspect) to run before some core operations in your app.
As you advance, practice different ways to define pointcuts (the set of core operations in your app) around which the new functionality or aspects need to be added.
By the end of the course, you'll have a basic, working knowledge of AOP and pointcuts.

Objectives

Spring: Extending Applications with Aspect-oriented Programming discover the key concepts covered in this course describe what aspect-oriented programming is and when it is applicable recognize what mechanisms are available to implement aspect-oriented programming in Java create and configure a project where aspect-oriented programming can be applied define a method that can be set as an aspect in a Java application execute a program with aspects and recognize how such aspects and pointcuts are related recognize different ways to define pointcuts set up aspects in an application using Java annotations define pointcuts in your application that apply to methods in multiple classes create pointcuts that have overlapping join points configure a pointcut using the within designator in order to map to join points within a class or package define pointcuts that are composed of other pointcuts create a custom annotation in order to explicitly define the methods that must match a pointcut summarize the key concepts covered in this course
