oriented programming?

I understand object oriented programming, and have been writing OO programs for a long time. People seem to talk about aspect-oriented programming, but I've never really learned what it is or how to use it. What is the basic paradigm?

This question is related, but doesn't quite ask it:

Aspect-Oriented Programming vs. Object Oriented Programming

AOP addresses the problem of cross-cutting concerns, which would be any kind of code that is repeated in different methods and can't normally be completely refactored into its own module, like with logging or verification. So, with AOP you can leave that stuff out of the main code and define it vertically like so:

function mainProgram()
{ 
   var x =  foo();
   doSomethingWith(x);
   return x;
}

aspect logging
{ 
    before (mainProgram is called):
    { 
       log.Write("entering mainProgram");
    }

    after (mainProgram is called):
    { 
       log.Write(  "exiting mainProgram with return value of "
                  + mainProgram.returnValue);
    }
 } 

aspect verification
{ 
    before (doSomethingWith is called):
    { 
       if (doSomethingWith.arguments[0] == null) 
       { 
          throw NullArgumentException();
       }

       if (!doSomethingWith.caller.isAuthenticated)
       { 
          throw Securityexception();
       }
    }
 }

And then an aspect-weaver is used to compile the code into this:

function mainProgram()
{ 
   log.Write("entering mainProgram");

   var x = foo();   

   if (x == null) throw NullArgumentException();
   if (!mainProgramIsAuthenticated()) throw Securityexception();
   doSomethingWith(x);   

   log.Write("exiting mainProgram with return value of "+ x);
   return x;
}

Unfortunately, it seems to be surprisingly difficult to make AOP really useful in a normal mid-large size organization. (Editor support, sense of control, the fact that you start with the not-so-important things leading to code-rot, people going home to their families, etc.)

I put my hopes to composite oriented programming , which is something more and more realistic. It connects to many popular ideas and gives you something really cool.

Look at an up and coming implementation here: qi4j.org/

PS. Actually, I think that one of the beauties with AOP is also its achilles heel: Its non-intrusive, letting people ignore it if they can, so it will be treated as a secondary concern in most organizations.

Copied from a duplicate for completeness (Einstein):

The classic examples are security and logging. Instead of writing code within your application to log occurance of x or check object z for security access control there is a language contraption "out of band" of normal code which can systematically inject security or logging into routines that don't nativly have them in such a way that even though your code doesn't supply it -- its taken care of.

A more concrete example is the operating system providing access controls to a file. A software program does not need to check for access restrictions because the underlying system does that work for it.

If you think you need AOP in my experience you actually really need to be investing more time and effort into appropriate meta-data management within your system with a focus on well thought structural / systems design.
