As part of http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=94575 I extended the AspectBeanMetaDataFactory so that instead of | <bean name="JMXIntroduction" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.beans.IntroductionBinding"> | <property name=&quot;classes&quot;&gt;(a)org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX&lt;/property&gt; | <property name="interfaces"> | <list elementClass="java.lang.String"> | <value>org.jboss.kernel.spi.dependency.KernelControllerContextAware</value> | </list> | </property> | <property name="manager"><inject bean="AspectManager" property="aspectManager"/></property> | </bean> | <beanfactory name="JMXAdvice" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMXIntroduction"> | <property name="mbeanServer"><inject bean="JMXKernel" property="mbeanServer"/></property> | </beanfactory> | | <bean name="JMXAspect" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.beans.Aspect"> | <property name="advice"><inject bean="JMXAdvice"/></property> | <property name="manager"><inject bean="AspectManager" property="aspectManager"/></property> | </bean> | | <bean name="JMXBinding" class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.beans.AspectBinding"> | <property name="pointcut">execution(* @org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX->$implements{org.jboss.kernel.spi.dependency.KernelControllerContextAware}(..))</property> | <property name="aspect"><inject bean="JMXAspect" property="definition"/></property> | <property name="manager"><inject bean="AspectManager" property="aspectManager"/></property> | </bean> | we can use | <aop:lifecycle xmlns:aop="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0" | name="JMXAdvice" | class="org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMXIntroduction" | classes=&quot;(a)org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX&quot; | manager-bean="AspectManager" | manager-property="aspectManager" | pointcut="execution(* @org.jboss.aop.microcontainer.aspects.jmx.JMX->$implements{org.jboss.kernel.spi.dependency.KernelControllerContextAware}(..))"> | <property name="mbeanServer"><inject bean="JMXKernel" property="mbeanServer"/></property> | </aop:lifecycle> | It is definitely easier and less verbose, but I did this before I saw Adrian's reply, which I have yet to digest :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985149#...
