[jboss-user] [JBoss AOP] - How to debug dynamic AOP that is not working for some classe

Hi, I have been trying to get dynamic AOP to work on our custom classes, but could not. My environment: JBoss AS 4.0.5, JBoss AOP 1.5.6 GA, JDK 1.5, loadtime weaving Dynamic AOP works for the following: 1. aopexample.ear - "injboss" example in the tutorial - deploying ear with standard contents and a standalone jboss-aop.xml - Modifying jboss-aop.xml in deploy/ directory directly, to add and remove bindings produces more or fewer logs showing more or fewer interceptions. - It still works when ear is exploded, the war in it is also exploded, and aopexamplelib.jar is copied to aopexample.war\WEB-INF\lib as well. 2. custom.ear with ejb1.jar, ejb2.jar, lib1.jar, lib2.jar, app.war and myaspect.jar. The ear and war are both exploded. There is a test.jsp in the war that executes sample classes in myaspect.jar. Using in the standalone jboss-aop.xml before JBoss startup: <prepare expr="execution(* com.mypackage.MyClass*->*(..))"/> | <prepare expr="execution(* com.custom.shopping.*->*(..))"/> Add new bindings during runtime: <bind pointcut="execution(* com.mypackage.MyClass*->*(..))"> | <interceptor class="com.myaspect.MyInterceptor"/> | </bind> | <bind pointcut="execution(* com.custom.shopping.*->*(..))"> | <interceptor class="com.myaspect.MyInterceptor"/> | </bind> Dynamic AOP works for MyClass* classes, which is only used by test.jsp and packaged in myaspect.jar. However, dynamic AOP does NOT work for com.custom.shopping.* classes, which is packaged inside lib1.jar. lib1.jar is present at custom.ear/ and app.war/WEB-INF/lib/. If this jar is removed from WEB-INF/lib, a NoClassFoundException will be thrown when hitting a page of the app that calls the com.custom.shopping.* classes. With the binding added, there is no logging that shows the AOP aspect weaving. If I start JBoss with the binding, I can see the shopping classes get intercepted from the logs. At runtime, if I remove the binding and add it back, I do not get the logs anymore. How do I debug the problem? How do I turn on debugging? What do you think is the problem? Is this a classloader issue? Currently, there are no errors or exceptions. Appreciate your response. Anna View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4150877#...
