[kepler-dev] Kepler and AOP

[Paul Allen]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anybody has taken an AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_oriented) approach to extending Kepler? 
For example, I think that it might not be too hard to layer a monitoring 
scheme for actors on top of Kepler by using AOP with appropriate pointcuts. 
After all, AOP is meant to deal with cross-cutting concerns without 
completely re-implementing APIs to accomplish that. AspectJ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AspectJ) is the most widely known Java 
implementation of AOP.
