Spring: Extending Applications with Aspect-oriented Programming

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Using aspect-oriented programming (AOP), global properties of a program, such as logging, auditing, declarative transactions, security, and caching, can be added to your application after you've developed the core features. This course explores the core concepts of AOP before getting hands-on with one of its basic features, the pointcut. Examine the fundamental terminology and use cases of AOP before adding functionality to an application by defining and configuring a function (an aspect) to run before some core operations in your app. As you advance, practice different ways to define pointcuts (the set of core operations in your app) around which the new functionality or aspects need to be added. By the end of the course, you'll have a basic, working knowledge of AOP and pointcuts.
