When using force.com technologies (e.g. Apex or the point-and-click app logic),  is there support for Aspect Oriented Programming?
For example I'm looking for an easy way to inject my custom code before/after  major business functions, in order to measure how long they took. Or in order to audit them.

Thanks

Hi,
I'm evaluating force.com, and wanted to please ask if it has a concept similar to Heroku "addons".
Namley if I have some legacy datastore, with legacy TCP protocol, legacy java driver, and legacy query language (not even relational). Could Apex be extended to invoke it, through my TCP protocol?
Or am I limited to the option of exposing it as REST/SOAP which Apex can consume?

Thanks
