Hi Flavia, Thanks for the response. I have tried your suggestion however when the pointcut is of type "execution" then it is intercepted and the defined aspect is executed. | <aspect class="com.ecebs.unittest.aop.aspect.ExceptionInjector" scope="PER_VM" /> | | <bind pointcut="execution(public void com.ecebs.unittest.aop.ExampleManagerBean->createObject(..))"> | <advice name="throwMultefileException" aspect="com.ecebs.unittest.aop.aspect.ExceptionInjector" /> | </bind> However when I change it to | <aspect class="com.ecebs.unittest.aop.aspect.ExceptionInjector" scope="PER_VM" /> | | <bind pointcut="call(public void com.ecebs.unittest.aop.ExampleManagerBean->createObject(..))"> | <advice name="throwMultefileException" aspect="com.ecebs.unittest.aop.aspect.ExceptionInjector" /> | </bind> The class defined in the aspect is never executed. Is there anything else I need to do that I have missed? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4225387#...
