This leads me to believe that the prepare isn't being noticed. This is unexpected. It looks like you have found a bug. Just to rule out any other possibilities, do you see the same behavior when you do AOP + AS in the standard way? I.e., when you add jboss-aop.xml (with the prepare statement) to the deploy directory before deploying your application, instead of setting a value for jboss.aop.path?
