Annotation examples

The annotation examples are shorter, since they assume you have already been through the XML examples and already understand the AOP basics. Their aim is to introduce you to how to achieve the same using JDK 5.0 annotations. To run them you will need to set up your environment so that you are running JDK 5.0

• Annotated interceptors
• Annotated aspects
• Annotated composition
• Annotated typedefs
• Annotated cflow
• Annotated dynamic cflow
• Annotated precedence
• Annotated introductions
• Annotated declare error/warning
• Annotated packaging for JBoss
