Would this work? Have a SemaphoreAspectFactory instance for each named semaphore definition and create the semaphoreAspect from the factory. Something like: | <aspect name="ThrottleReadMostlyAspect" factory="org.jboss.aspects.concurrent.SemaphoreAspectFactory" scope="PER_JVM"> | <attribute name="permits">48</attribute> | </aspect> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4103051#...
