[jboss-user] [JBoss AOP] - Another AOP Deployment Question -- (Sorry about that)

I have been running into the same deployment problem for the last day or two now. I'm not sure if it is related to how my deployment is structured or it's a simple configuration step I missed. My Situation: -Running JBoss 4.0.5GA -Using the JBoss AOP tool inside JBoss IDE -Copied the jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer into my deploy directory (removing the regular jboss-aop.deployer) -Set EnableLoadTimeWeaving to true -Added the pluggable-instrumentor.jar to JBOSS_HOME\bin directory -Added -javaagent:pluggable-instrumentor.jar to my run.bat -Created a .aop archive that contains only one file META-INF/jboss-aop.xml -Added the .aop archive to the top of the list in my application.xml file The server startup is fine with the exception of some exceptions that are not generated from my application: 12:06:02,753 ERROR [STDERR] [warn] AOP Instrumentor failed to transform org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer | 12:06:02,753 ERROR [STDERR] org.jboss.aop.instrument.TransformationException: Failed to aspectize class org.apache.catalina.core.StandardSer | ver.

Now, if I remove the one and only interceptor from the jboss-aop.xml, and deploy the app, everything works fine. I put the interceptor back into the jboss-aop.xml file, I get the exception stated above. I'm pretty lost here and would appreciate any insight to this. Thank you in advance.
