I used the following approach: - I have a performance.jar which contains the following aspect: package com.agfa.ogpc.performance.aspects;   import com.agfa.ogpc.performance.dao.NeoDatisMessageProcessingDAO; import com.agfa.ogpc.performance.dao.PerformanceDAO; import org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation;   import com.agfa.ogpc.performance.model.TimeElapsed;   public class MessageProcessingAspect {       public Object intercept(final MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable {         long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();         try {             return invocation.invokeNext();         } finally {             long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();                         store(new TimeElapsed(startTime,endTime));         }     }           private void store(final TimeElapsed timeElapsed) {             PerformanceDAO<TimeElapsed> dao = new NeoDatisMessageProcessingDAO();             dao.persist(timeElapsed);         } } - I also have several .ears which are part of my application - I deployed a file named performance-aop.xml in the deploy folder, that looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <aop> <aspect class="com.agfa.ogpc.performance.aspects.MessageProcessingAspect"/> <bind pointcut="execution(* com.agfa.hap.bpe.components.db.BasicStatelessDBComponent->*(..))">     <around aspect="com.agfa.ogpc.performance.aspects.MessageProcessingAspect" name="intercept" /> </bind>    </aop> The application is deployed correctly and the -aop.xml is wellformed, but the application is not intercepted and I'm sure the method is being called (I debugged the code). Then I have changed the syntax to intercept any method: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <aop> <aspect class="com.agfa.ogpc.performance.aspects.MessageProcessingAspect"/> <bind pointcut="execution(* *->*(..))">     <around aspect="com.agfa.ogpc.performance.aspects.MessageProcessingAspect" name="intercept" /> </bind>    </aop> But even after this change the aspect is not being called. I also tried to change the performance.jar to performance.aop and include a jboss-aop.xml within the META-INF folder, but without any success. So, I ran out of options for the moment.... So, anyone has any idea how to solve it?
