:(, tried several times, but is not working. Below is the list of steps i think are correct and that i've already done: 1) downloaded: jboss-4.0.5.GA.zip 2) downloaded: jboss-aop_1.5.0.GA.zip 3) copied jboss-aop_1.5.0.GA\jboss-40-install\jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer to jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\ 4) edited jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer\META-INF\jboss-service.xml: -) EnableLoadtimeWeaving: true -) mbean: "org.jboss.aop.deployment.AspectManagerServiceJDK5" -) include: "security., org.jboss.injbossaop" -) exclude: "org.jboss.,org.apache." 5) copied jboss-aop_1.5.0.GA\lib-50\pluggable-instrumentor.jar to jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\ 6) changed jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\run.bat to "set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% -javaagent:pluggable-instrumentor.jar" at line 73 7) changed the "other" definition in jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\conf\login-config.xml as <application-policy name = "other"> | <authentication> | <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule" | flag = "required"> | <module-option name="usersProperties">props/users.properties</module-option> | <module-option name="rolesProperties">props/roles.properties</module-option> | <module-option name="unauthenticatedIdentity">nobody</module-option> | </login-module> | </authentication> | </application-policy> 8) generated the two files with content: | # roles.properties | userA=rolA | userB=rolB,rolC | | # users.properties | userA=passA | userB=passB 9) changed jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml at line 58 to: true 10) packaged the application as a .sar deployment with the war and aop inside (i could send it if you want to, the sar it's about 4k) Don't know what else to do. There's no error in the output or anything, it seems like is working correctly but is not applying the aspect as defined in the XML. In the same configuration, if i uncomment the security annotations it works perfect. tks.- View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4003836#...
