%X software engineers often rely on communication middleware platforms to design and implement distributed systems. however, middleware functionality is usually invasive, pervasive and tangled with business-specific concerns. in this paper, we describe an aspect-oriented distributed programming system that encapsulates middleware services provided by java rmi and java idl. the proposed system, called daj, handles the basic service provided by such object-oriented middleware platforms, i.e., synchronous remote calls using call by-serialization and call by-remote-reference semantics. the paper documents our experience in using daj to modularize middleware concerns from three legacy distributed systems.
