using AOP in web context and affection on performance

Question

Hi I have a web application running most of my services through web services.
first i want to know how much degradation in performance would take place using AOP in web context for example if i can handle 200 request/second without AOP, what would be the result with it (having simple logging and authorization)

Is there any great AOP framework available out there for .NET ?
Is it a better idea to use Proxy web services (implementing authorization, logging , ... in proxy) for gaining the better performance or the overhead of using AOP is negligible and its advantages worth performance degradation.

WHATS the best replacement for AOP in .net framework ?

Answer 1

The best AOP framework I know of for .Net is PostSharp. It's really slick, easy to use, and it doesn't affect run-time performace in any way bad, since all weaving takes place at compile time (compile times will grow a bit due to this, but it's definitly manageble). The only thing that happens is that your aspects get weaved in as methods, so performance-wise there's no difference between writing your logging code the classical way, to putting them in aspects when using PostSharp.
