JBoss Community

Hi,

I already asked this question on AOP forum (http://community.jboss.org/message/623183#623183). But I am not sure if it is AOP or EJB problem, so I copy it here as well.

I am trying to create schedule event using EJB3.1 @Schedule annotation. Everything works fine as long as I have the annotation inside my bean. I want to be able to change schedule in deployment time without repacking ear. So I want to add this annotation using AOP. But it doesn't work.

Here is my sample bean:

@AspectDomain(value = "TimerBeanDomain") 
@Singleton
public class TimerBean {

      public void timerMethod() {   
         System.out.println("Timer method activated");
      }
} 
 
 

And here is my aop.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<aop xmlns="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0"> 
     <domain name="TimerBeanDomain">  
         <annotation expr="method(void *->timerMethod(..))>   
             @javax.ejb.Schedule(second=*/30, minute=*, hour=*")  
         </annotation>  
    </domain>
</aop> 
 
 
 

Bean is packed inside -ejb.jar, which is packed in .ear. AOP file is outside ear file.

There are no errors in console. It just does not work.

I tried it with stateless bean as well. In this case aop.xml looked like:

<domain name="TimerBeanDomain" extends="Stateless Bean" inheritBindings="true"> 

I tried JBoss 6.0.1 and JBoss 6.1.0 with same result.

At least is there some way how to debug AOP process of adding annotation?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Eman
