It should be possible. The simplest solution will be to use "execution" instead of "call": | <bind pointcut="execution(* org.jnp.server.NamingServer->setBinding(..))"> | <advice name="notify" aspect="com.cmi2.facility.jndi.aop.JndiNotifier" /> | </bind> | This only weaves the target class, while "call" needs to weave all the classes calling the method. The AspectManagerService contains the attributes Include and Exclude to include/exclude what can be woven http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossaop/docs/1.5.0.GA/docs/aspect-framework... By default classes starting with org.jboss. are excluded, so chances are that your callers are being excluded. Also, make sure that you have loadtime weaving turned on http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossaop/docs/1.5.0.GA/docs/aspect-framework... There is an example that comes with the aop download under aop/docs/aspect-framework/examples/injboss that you can use to validate if you have everything set up properly View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985809#...
