Com Object

Have you tried the com extraction option on the component? Or if this doesn't work you can extract the info to a registry file and then import that into the component. I like the com extraction at build time that way if the developer changes anything you will pick up the changes. source

I think that it entirely depends on the media and on the source. Different news channels get different audiences depending on their political viewpoints, as do different major newspapers. I think that all newspapers show some sort of bias, if for no other reason than what editorial letters they choose to print. source

I usually use the 'stage' property of my main class, that way I don't have to reference anything in front of it, and I can access it in the first line of the constructor. Also, it will always be on the display list, assuming you are using it as the main class. source

While I wouldn't say that the absolute number of interfaces would be a code smell, it looks like this object is on its way to becoming a dreaded God Object that contains a lot of information about a contract - how to print it, format it, data bind it, and serialize it. You couldn't use a PaperContractDataBinder , PageContractSerializer , PaperContractFormatter , etc? The SRP directly relates to small object explosion. Done correctly, you get lots of smaller, more focused classes that do a few very tightly coupled things. source

Create a regular expression in pointcut that doesn't contain the structure of methods you don't want to intercept. If you are using AspectJ, see documentation and you will see so many examples. source
