Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. Assuming that you have a checkout of jboss aop, would you be able to add a test demonstrating the behaviour and attach the svn diff and new classes to a JIRA issue? The test files to modify would be under boss-aop\aop\src\test\org\jboss\test\aop\field and the jboss-aop.xml file lives in jboss-aop\aop\src\resources\test\field View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4034041#...
