Spring Interceptors

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is starting to make its way into mainstream development, thanks in part to the interceptor frameworks in Spring (and also EJB3). As an industry we are finally starting to realize the benefits and uses of AOP for areas of testing, debugging, monitoring, and production. In this session we will explore various real-world use cases for interceptors, and through interactive coding look at how to implement various types of interceptors using Spring 2.5. Towards the end of the session I will talk about the inherent differences between interceptors in Spring and those found in EJB3. You will walk away from this session with not only knowing how interceptors can simplify your life and solve real-world problems, but also how to implement them as well. Note that some knowledge of Spring is needed for this session, but no knowledge of AOP is required.
