Aspectizing Database Connection Pooling for Improved Run-Time Performance Measures in Web Applications

Abstract

This paper addresses the positive dynamic effects of the aspect-oriented implementation of database connection pooling in a Web application, through simulated experiments. In addition to the static positive effects of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) in yielding a robust design by ensuring encapsulation, reusability, efficiency, and extensibility, the dynamic positive effects of AOP in our experiments are emphasized and demonstrated elaborately in terms of some selected run-time performance measures. The latter issue is the main concern of our ongoing research work
