Moving this dev thread to here. http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-development/2008-June/012271.html The ejb3 layer is looking to aop for some of its metadata and we need inverted to be looking at metadata/metadata repository to have an externalized, authoritative view. Carlo's point on the dev thread was about the default jndi binding policy. Kabir had been working on a metadata view of the aop.xml. We are doing some integration with this view metadata repository loaders (I believe). The point of this thread is how to properly integrate the various aop metadata info into the jboss-metadata view.
