Invited Talk: Object Persistence Aspects

Thursday, March 17, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Jim Clark, Oracle Corporation

Abstract

We don't create Objects just to persist them in a database (at least, not usually). We create Objects to model the behavior of a system. The need to persist the state of these Objects is "orthogonal". In that sense, Object persistence has always been an aspect of any system (ie even before we started explicitly talking about AOP). In this presentation, we will be looking at GetField/PutField JoinPoints, and at what kinds of advice can be used to enhance an existing Persistence Framework. We will also look at what sorts of state introductions are typically necessary for a persistent Object.
