I am writing some tests for trying this out in a running jboss instance. I will need to add the jboss-aop-mc-int.jar to the jboss/lib (or server/xxx/lib) folder for this to work, so that either a proxy or a woven class is returned. One thing that still is wooly, is where the repository comes from. The repository has not been finalized yet, and there is still some work that needs doing on it: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3982960#... BTW the class to be used is now | <bean name="Repository" class="org.jboss.metadata.plugins.repository.basic.BasicMetaDataRepository"/> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983473#...
