[jboss-user] [JBoss AOP] - Stuck trying to get HotSwap weaving going with JBoss AS 6

To prepare the environment for HotSwap, I've tried going the following 1. In *$JBOSS_HOME/server/all/conf/bootstrap/aop.xml*, set *enableLoadtimeWeaving* to true. 2. Placed a copy of the *pluggable-instrumentor.jar* that comes with JBoss AS 6 into *$JBOSS_HOME/bin* 3. Passed in *-javaagent:pluggable-instrumentor.jar=-hotSwap* as a argument to Java.  This was attemped both by passing it in via an Eclipse JVM parameter, and by editing *run.conf.bat*. 4. Placed my application's EAR file containing the class to be instrumented into the *$JBOSS_HOME/server/all/deploy* directory. 5. Placed a file called *prepare-aop.xml* within *$JBOSS_HOME/server/all/deploy*, for the purposes of preparing a class for HotSwap AOP.  It just contains the following: <aop xmlns="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0"> <prepare expr="all(mypackage.MyClass)" /> </aop> Now, when I start the server, my application gets loaded, I can the URL for MyClass, just fine.  However, my hope is that when I place a file called *myaspects-aop.xml* into *$JBOSS_HOME/server/all/deploy*, then MyClass would automatically get instrumented with the aspect below, which just logs that it has been invoked.  However, that is not happening. <aop xmlns="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0">              <aspect class="mypackage.MyAspect"  scope="PER_JOINPOINT">           </aspect>           <bind pointcut="execution( * mypackage.MyClass->*(..) )">                               <advice aspect="mypackage.MyAspect" />           </bind> </aop> Any insight would be most appreciated! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/614021#614021] Start a new discussion in JBoss AOP at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
