ant -f build-test.xml one-test -Dtest=security5 If you place the break point in BeanContainer->getAnnotation for method FirstBean->echo and the annotation "RolesAllowed", you will see that it returns a RolesAllowed("Echo") when it should have been RolesAllowed("InternalRole"). The FirstBean is getting called with a "Echo" role. So there is some caching done by getAdvisor() of bean container.
