Fall 2002 Programming Language Seminar: Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectJ Back to main course page

Department of Computer Science

Homework 1: Getting Acquainted

Goal: To compile a simple AspectJ program
Due: Wednesday 11 September 2002
Turn-in: None required

You should write:

• A few simple classes with a few methods (they can do anything you wish)
• An aspect with pointcuts and advice that affects the above methods by (for example) printing a message before and after the executions of certain methods

No turn-in is required for this assignment, but please spend the two or three minutes to do the above---this will ensure that AspectJ works in your environment and gives you a chance to experiment. Note that all source files (classes and aspects) must be given to ajc in order to get the correct output---you cannot incrementally compile an AspectJ program with the current version (1.0.6) of the tools.

Please contact me at mdeters@cse.wustl.edu if you have any difficulties getting the tools to work.
