Seems it was getting confused about the scopes. In the standalone version, the Bean MetaData annotations are added to the mutable scope by | [INSTANCE=SomeRandomName] | In the AS version the mutable scope was | [APPLICATION=vfszip:/Users/kabir/sourcecontrol/jboss-head/testsuite/output/lib/aop-scopeddependency-scoped.sar, INSTANCE=ScopedAlias_17_Factory$ScopedInterceptor] | When calling BasicKernelMetaDataRepository.getMetaData() with the context's scope | [JVM=THIS, CLASS=class org.jboss.aop.asintegration.jboss5.ScopedVFSClassLoaderDomain, INSTANCE=ScopedManager_4_vfszip:/Users/kabir/sourcecontrol/jboss-head/testsuite/output/lib/aop-scopeddependency-scoped.sar] | the returned MetaData does not contain the added annotations in AS. Modifying the code I copied from BeanMetaDataDeployer to | KernelControllerContext context = new AbstractKernelControllerContext(null, deployment, null); | //Make sure that the metadata from the deployment gets put into the context | ScopeInfo scopeInfo = context.getScopeInfo(); | if (scopeInfo != null) | { | mergeScopes(scopeInfo.getScope(), unit.getScope()); | //mergeScopes(scopeInfo.getMutableScope(), unit.getMutableScope()); | } | | try | { | controller.install(context); | } | So that the scope is simply | [INSTANCE=ScopedAlias_17_Factory$ScopedInterceptor] | seems to get the aliases installed.
