JBoss AOP Benchmark

Overview

This example benches constructor, method, field execution pointcuts as well as a method caller pointcut. There are 3 tests for each type.

  1. Unadvised is a non-aoped call. There is also some numbers in there for raw Java reflection to compare to the overhead of JBoss AOP.
  2. Advised means that there are no interceptors attached as part of the test. JBoss AOP is highly optimized when there are no interceptors. Remember, you can <prepare> an Java class so that you can hot-deploy interceptors/advices at runtime.
  3. Intercepted means that there is one simple interceptor that is run as part of the test.

    4. Running

    To compile and run: 
      $ ant
    It will javac the files and then run the AOPC precompiler to manipulate the bytecode, then finally run the example.
