After a 5min IM chat with Clebert, he opines that the AOP code needs to be retrofitted (which I agree). That means AOP generated code needs to insert the privileged block. Back to Kabir's land. I am off to sleep. AOP which does the pointcut is basically invoking the getCLassloader op. It needs to appropriately generate the privileged block in the generated code.
