Aspectran is a lightweight, high-performance framework based on the JVM, designed to efficiently build everything from simple command-line tools to complex enterprise web services. It boasts fast startup times and a low memory footprint through minimal dependencies and optimized resource usage, making it ideal for microservices and cloud-native environments.
At its core, Aspectran emphasizes an intuitive POJO-centric programming model. By leveraging powerful enterprise patterns such as Inversion of Control (IoC), Dependency Injection (DI), and Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), it maximizes code modularity and reusability. A key strength is its Adapter Pattern for environment abstraction, which allows the same business logic to run without modification across various runtimes—whether it's a web server, a command-line shell, or a background daemon.
The Aspectran organization provides a modular suite of projects to suit various application needs:
- aspectran/aspectran: The primary repository containing the core IoC, AOP, and Activity-based request processing engine.
- Aspectow Enterprise: Full-featured Enterprise Edition starter.
- Aspectow Light: Lightweight edition for fast, minimal setups.
- Aspectow Jetty: Specifically pre-configured for the Jetty embedded server.
- ToDo Webapp: Standard MVC web application example.
- JPetStore: Database integration demo using MyBatis.
- Petclinic: Modern web app example using JPA and Thymeleaf.
