An illustrative example of refactoring object‐oriented source code with aspect‐oriented mechanisms
Miguel P. Monteiro, Joao Miguel Fernandes · Software Practice and Experience · 2007
Abstract This paper describes a refactoring process that transforms a Java source code base into a functionally equivalent AspectJ source code base. The process illustrates the use of a collection of refactorings for aspect‐oriented source code, covering the extraction of scattered implementation elements to aspects, the internal reorganization of the extracted aspects and the extraction of commonalities to super‐aspects.
