I have a Servlet that sets an Action Bean instance as an attribute called 'actionBean'. I also have successfully setup an AOP interceptor (with load time weaving) to intercept the User bean's getName() method. | class User { | private String name; | | // getters/setters | } | class ActionBean { | private User user; | | // getters/setters + other action methods | } | | class MyServlet extends HttpServlet { | public service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletRequest resp) { | User user = new User(); | user.setName("Bob"); | ActionBean actionBean = new ActionBean(); | actionBean.setUser(user); | request.setAttribute("actionBean", actionBean); | ... | } | } | In the JSP context I try the following JSP scriptlet: | <% | ActionBean actionBean = (ActionBean)request.getAttribute("actionBean"); | User user = actionBean.getUser(); | out.print("user: " + user.getName()); | %> | And the call works 100% with the AOP interceptor being called. However, I try the same with JSP expression language: ${actionBean.user.name} And the calls works BUT the AOP interceptor does not get called. Somehow it seems that the JSP expression language and JSP scriptlets get evaluated differently and as a consequence my AOP interceptor does not get called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Alen View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4231835#...
