Motivations for Framework-based AOP
Bruno De Fraine, Wim Vanderperren, Davy Suvée · 2006
In comparison to language-based AOP approaches, aspect-oriented frameworks have the inherent advantage of a better integration with the existing development process. In this paper, we discuss some of the less evident advantages of framework-based approaches for general-purpose AOP: ability to build programmatic abstractions, flexibility and dynamic nature, a better integration between aspects and the base application, and openness and customizability. These benefits are part of the design criteria of the new Eco approach.
