Yes, I knew about Spring AOP but didn't keep much attention. Is AOP
used a lot in the Spring context or is it just a fancy, experimental
feature which was just cool to implement at some time?

As I understand Spring it was part of a liberation wave from J2EE in
the Java community: return to POJOs and dependency injection as the
main composition technique. Spring is probably not that bad.
