Package io.csar

Interface Concern

public interface Concern
Represents a concern (usually a cross-cutting concern) of a program such as logging or internationalization.

This framework allows concerns to be specified locally via a DecoratedConcernedThreadGroup, or as a global default using Csar.registerDefaultConcern(Concern).

Each type of concern should override getConcernType() to return the class (normally an interface) representing a type of concern such as logging or i18n.
