All classes and xml files involved on the project are _not_ inside the same jar, basically I have 2  jar, basic.jar with common code like the aspect, the jboss-beans.xml  file where the netty SocketChannelFactory is defined (a exact copy of  the file found inside netty.jar/META-INF/jboss-beans.xml) and other  common beans defined inside jboss-beans.xml file basic.jar +com.test.* (common classes) +com.test.TestAspect +META-INF      +jboss-beans.xml      +netty-jboss-beans.xml And network.jar with  network specific code like MyNetworkListener, netty ChannleHandlers, and  of course the jboss-beans.xml file that defines beans and aspects network.jar +com.test.MyNetworkListener +META-INF      +jboss-beans.xml For example I have the following aspect: public class TestAspect {    createSomething(MethodInvocation inv) {...}    updateSomething(MethodInvocation inv) {...} } updateSomething must be called after a message is received from network so inside jboss-beans.xml I put <aop:aspect xmlns:aop="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0"         xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0 aop-beans_1_0.xsd"         class="com.test.TestAspect" name="TestAspect"/> <aop:bind xmlns:aop="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0"         xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0 aop-beans_1_0.xsd"         pointcut="execution(public void com.test.MyNetworkListener->responseReceived(..))">         <aop:after aspect="TestAspect" name="updateSomething"/> </aop:bind> the MyNetworkListener.responseReceived method is called by a netty ChannelHandler (obviosly running inside a IO thread) so I'm guessing that MyNetworkListener is not being weived properly because is being called from a thread not managed by the jboss server/aop libs? or maybe is a classloading issue?
