This session will demonstrate how EJB3 and AOP are driving the complexity out of middleware and defining a much simpler POJO (plain old Java object) programming model. Attendees will be walked through the use of EJB3 annotations, JDK 5.0 annotations, and the pre-built Aspects included in the JBoss Aspect Library. The audience will be shown how Aspects are built and how to extend the Java Language with AOP annotations.
