Linking related thread: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4051453#... I've started the work on JBAOP-107 mentioned on the other thread. The AOPScopedClassLoaderHelper is replaced with a higher level abstraction AOPClassLoaderScopingPolicy that is implemented using the older class with a bridge. The isScoped(ClassLoader) is still not very useful for the OSGi style classloading so this needs more work. https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/aop/trunk/aop/src/main/org/j... NOTE: This is only a temporary solution to get a better abstraction for different classloader implementations/policies. The real solution is for AOP not to "guess" based on the classloader :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4061565#...
