Automatic validation of deployed J2EE components using aspects

Abstract

Abstract

An architecture for developing aspect-oriented Web services

“…This extends our AOCE work which developed extensions to the object component model to support component design, de-coupled implementation and run-time discovery and integration using component aspects [1], [8], [9], [10]. Component aspects are cross-cutting concerns impacting on components, including persistency management, distribution, security, transaction processing and resource use.…”

“…The use of the AOCE methodology to build our web services-based travel planner system resulted in increased understanding of the interrelationships between the various subsystems and components concerned [4], [10], [22]. Capturing cross-cutting concerns using AOCE for the travel planner services we found that the development process was considerably simplified.…”

A monitoring approach for runtime service discovery

“…Similarly, in [28], the authors use service behaviour signatures to improve service discovery. The works in [16] and [29], describe functional and quality cross cutting concerns of components and services as aspects and discovery is based on a formal analysis and validation of these descriptions. In [28] a query language based on first-order logic that focuses on properties of behaviour signatures is used to support the discovery process.…”

Validating Quality of Service for Reusable Software Via Model-Integrated Distributed Continuous Quality Assurance

“…Other research initiatives to validate if software components meet QoS, include automatic validation techniques [11] for J2EE components using Aspects. In this approach, agents at run-time, conduct validation tests such as, singleclient response time, functional operation and data storage/ retrieval tests.…”
