Comment on iPod + cell phone + web + email = iPhone by Saulo

I got an iPhone two months ago—I’m loving it!

I had considered getting an Android phone, but I am not an early adopter. Maybe when it gets a bit more mature.

Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog!

Comment on Should we use foreign-key constraints when persisting Domain Models? by Anonymous

I agree that the database is in the data layer, however I see no problem in having an “extra” check in your database apart from requiring you to consistently chance the checks when you change the logic.

Comment on Aspect-oriented programming with AspectJ by Saulo

I see what you mean. As I wanted to get into a simple practical example quickly, I might have provided a rather unsatisfactory definition (for a layman, at least).

Thanks much for reading the article and thanks for your comments.

I agree–you can really break encapsulation with AspectJ if you are not careful.

…an aspect can be used to implement a concern that is crosscutting among different components.

I was a little worried when I read this as it is one of those self-licking lollipop kind of definitions that only makes sense if you already know what AOP means. However, you pull it together after that and explain the essentials nicely.

Good summary, and I completely share your concerns. I really love the AO paradigm, but AspectJ is simply too powerful. The Java programming language is too low-level for successful AO application.

I prefer applying aspects on a higher level of abstraction (e.g. models). Under no circumstances must aspects be allowed to break the encapsulation of classes or components.
