aop + aop-mc-int should be pretty stable. Could we do something like the following? 1) expose Property-/AbstractConfiguration as a bean, with settable JoinpointFactoryBuilder and DependencyBuilder properties 2) declare the AOP flavours of JFB and DB as beans, which then are installed and override the ones in AbstractConfiguration. This would replace the first part of the hack. I am not sure where the AOPBeansSchemaInitializer was initialised in the "old" config?
