However, this feature is already implemented in JBoss AOP repository, and will come out in the next release. Agree. I'm looking for this feature too. It's great knowing this feature will come out soon. Another advantage I found in JBoss AOP is I don't need to use an AOP compiler if using Java5. Am I right? Well I'm quite enjoying JBoss AOP so far, as it also can be used outside the container. That's why I just need to know whether there are advantages if using AspectJ. Thank you so much for the input guys. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3991862#...
