while (true) {

/20@yegor256 5
code duplication

/20@yegor256 6
class Page {
@Retry
}
}

/20@yegor256 7
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface Retry {

@Aspect
class Robustness {
@Around("execution(* *(..)) && @annotation(Retry)")
public Object around(ProceedingJoinPoint point) {
while (true) {

// just ignore it
}
}

binary aspect weaving
javac + ajc

/20@yegor256 11
class Page {
private Robustness r;
return this.r.around(point);
}
public String html_aroundBody() {
}
}
@Aspect

/20@yegor256 14
no code duplication

/20@yegor256 15
procedural and clumsy

/20@yegor256 16
@Aspect
class Robustness {
@Around("execution(* *(..)) && @annotation(Retry)")
public Object around(ProceedingJoinPoint point) {
while (true) {
try {
// just ignore it
}
}
}
}

/20@yegor256 17
class RobustPage {
private ﬁnal Page page;
while (true) {
try {
return this.page.html();
// ignore
}
}
}
}

/20@yegor256 18
new RobustPage(new Page());

/20@yegor256 19
a better Java with AOP?

/20@yegor256 21
class Page {
public String html() around retry() {
}
advice Object retry() {
while (true) {
try {
return proceed;
// ignore
}
}
}
}

/20@yegor256 22
class Robust<T> decorates T {
advice Object retry() {
while (true) {
try {
return proceed;
// ignore
}
}
}
}

/20@yegor256 23
page = new Robust<Page>(new Page()) {
@Override
public String html() around retry() {
return origin.html();
}
}
