Re: [Rails-core] AOP in Rails

[Chad Woolley]

Can you give an example of how you would implement this?

Why doesn't Rails use aspect-oriented programming? e.g. for loggers

Rails uses tons of AOP. It just doesn't explicitly call out the fact that it is AOP. The filters in controllers and models are a good example. And in fact the loggers do use AOP. All the SQL logging, for example, is done by a component that plugs in to the notifications that are sent by ActiveRecord when it performs a query.

Primarily because ruby is more dynamic that java, where aspects are more commonly used. In Ruby you can get by with reopening classes, and using modules.
