“…Regarding other languages for web development, Stamey et al proposed an AOP environment for PHP language, called AOPHP [13]. Although its mechanism of weaving aspect at the request time is similar to our framework, its language target and possible joinpoints are different from our framework.…”

JavaScript is a popular scripting language that is particularly useful for client-side programming together with HTML /XML on the Web. As JavaScript programs become more complex and large, separation of concerns at the implementation level is a significant challenge. Aspect orientation has been a well known concept to realize improved separation; however, existing mechanisms require modifications in the target modules for aspect weaving in JavaScript (i.e., not "complete" separation). In this paper, we propose an Aspect-Oriented JavaScript framework, named "AOJS", which realizes the complete separation of aspects and other core modules in JavaScript. AOJS can specify function executions, variable assignments and file initializations in JavaScript programs as the joinpoints of aspects. Moreover, AOJS guarantees the complete separation of aspects and core program modules by adopting a proxy-based architecture for aspect weaving. By utilizing these features, we confirmed that AOJS offers improved modifiability and extendability for JavaScript programming.

Recent state-of-the-art approaches enhance JavaScript programs with concerns (e.g., persistence, security, transactions, etc.) by modifying the source code by hand to use special libraries. As a result, adding concerns to a JavaScript program creates divergent codebases that must be maintained separately. At the core of the problem is that JavaScript lacks metadata to express concerns declaratively. In this paper, we present a declarative approach to enhancing JavaScript programs that applies the Java annotations infrastructure to JavaScript, without extending the JavaScript language. An IDE combines JavaScript and Java during the development, but processes the languages separately. Programmers declare how concerns should be added to a JavaScript program using Java annotations. Based on the annotations, a code generator synthesizes aspect code that adds the specified concerns. Although these enhancements are implemented as third-party libraries, our approach can transparently insert them into JavaScript programs given a declarative specification.

“…However, evidences show that the use of AOP can also be effective in such context, since Web applications are similar to traditional software in many senses. For instance, supporting good separation of concerns is essencial for Web systems as well [4,13,21,19,20].…”

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a new technology that was proposed to improve separation of concerns in software development. AOP's main focus is to use aspect modules to implement concerns that would be generally scattered across the system and tangled with other modules (crosscutting concerns). Although much research has focused on AOP's application to traditional software development, little has been done towards its application to Web development. Aspect-oriented PHP (aoPHP) is an addition to PHP that allows the use of AOP in the Web development context. In this paper we describe an application of aoPHP to show that AOP can also be effectively used in the Web development context. In particular, we have implemented two crosscutting concerns in a collaborative Web system named CoTeia: the access control and the version control functionalities. Furthermore, we discuss how AOP can enhance the design of Web applications by reasoning on the refactored system.
