Hi all,
I agree that it was an interesting article.
However, since AspectJ is an extension to Java, most of oVirt
developers would need to know additional programming language
which puts the cost-effectiveness of this approach into question.
Actually you only need to learn some very basic stuff about pointcut
definition. The rest was pure Java for anything I ever needed (before,
after and around cases).
DSLs are a nice thing to have, and we can start by utilizing object
builders more :) Those are a kind of DSL too if nicely written. See
the latest email on this list from Roman Mohr that talks about Domain
Object Builders (or Spring Security Java configuration [2] to see a
more complicated example of how it is used elsewhere).
