Summary
This talk goes beyond myths surrounding AOP and shows the real deal. It examines many practical applications implemented with and without aspects, providing a context for scrutinizing AOP. It also discusses ways to adopt AOP in pragmatic, risk-managed ways allowing developers to try AOP in their own system and gain understanding at the experiential level without exposing them to undue risk.

Glassbox is an open source troubleshooting and monitoring agent for Java apps that diagnoses common problems automatically. Drop the Glassbox web application into your server and Glassbox's aspect-oriented programming will discover your existing apps and pinpoint errors and performance issues in plain English. Using AspectJ, Glassbox can provide low overhead effective monitoring without needing to "bake in" instrumentation up front--no code changes or recompilation is needed. Glassbox includes an analysis layer, an Ajax web-client and an automated installer. It is open source and modular, so contributors can add monitors for more problems or additional analysis as desired for their own projects. Glassbox's goal is to automate the daily grunt work of troubleshooting common problems, and free the expert to get back to solving the core technical problems. This talk will illustrate how Glassbox 2.0 identifies problems, how to integrate it into an existing monitoring environment, and how it can be extended to better analyze custom applications without code changes.
