Aspect Oriented Programming: add magic to your code and remove Boilerplate
summary
Shows concrete use of AspectJ-style compile-time bytecode weaving to inject logging, transactions and try/catch without proxies, with examples that actually reduce boilerplate. Demonstrates around advice for timing and performance monitoring, annotation-driven caching (memoization), database transaction wrapping, validation by reading annotation parameters, UI-thread posting via handler, automatic field-change hooks to trigger UI updates, role-gated method execution, compile-time package-call checks, and cautions to prefer precise pointcuts and not overuse aspects.
