' One of the things I like to do when I visit a client is to take a look at the books on their bookshelf (and those of the other members of their team). I do this for three reasons. Firstly I'm always on the lookout for good books that I haven't read yet. If I see an interesting title that I've not read, I'll ask if it's any good. Secondly, it tells me a lot about the background and…

' I spent a few days last week working on argument binding in advice for the new aop schema and @AspectJ support in Spring 2.0. In this article, I'll explain how the new support works and how you can use it. First some background for those of you who haven't been following along with developments in Spring 2.0. Spring 2.0 supports schema-based configuration as well as DTD based. Schema gives better validation, a better experience in the IDE (in terms…

' Matt Chapman pulled together the download statistics for AspectJ and AJDT for the month of December 2005:

' Long overdue, but I've finally repackaged all of the examples from the Eclipse AspectJ book for easy installation on Eclipse 3.1 and the latest AJDT. Here's the download link and installation instructions. Since the book was published, AJDT has introduced the Cross References View. If you are following along with the text, relationship information (such as "advises" and "advised by") is now shown in the Cross References View and not in the outline view. To run the junit tests…

' For once, this is not a post about AspectJ! Not wanting to name names, but I was using the woolwich cashpoint in southampton airport terminal building last night. I put my card into the machine, entered my pin, selected the amount of cash I wanted to withdraw.... whirr, whirr, whirr, clunk. Blank screen for several seconds, then the cash machine started rebooting! The boot sequence of a cash machine that has your card in it is not something you…
