There is a race condition with the aspects deployed in the aop aspect deployer and other deployers that want to use them. I added the JMX advice to the EjbParsingDeployer http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBossAS/trunk/server/src/main/org/jboss/d... But this does not work if the ejb deployer is deployed before the aop deployer. It does not know to apply the advice. A temporary fix would be move these beans to the bootstrap-beans.xml but we need to come up with a better solution.
