I am not sure if it will make a difference, but I see you pc reads | @PointcutDef("execution(* *->@logger.Logger(..)) ") | Try to get rid of the spaces at the end: | @PointcutDef("execution(* *->@logger.Logger(..))") | For the pointcut name, you must use the fully qualified name of the annotated field. Is your aspect class called logger.LoggerAspect? You don't have to use named pointcuts, so you could try to do the following to isolate the error: | @Bind (pointcut="execution(* *->@logger.Logger(..))") | public Object logger(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983705#...
