I forgot, you would need to make this pointcut available before the NamingServer is loaded, since loadtime weaving can only be done the first time a class is loaded. Now the problem is that the naming service is one of the bootstrap services loaded up via server/xxx/conf/jboss-service.xml, and so it is loaded before the AspectManager has been deployed. So in other words loadtime weaving will not be possible for this scenario. You could try - unjaring server/xxx/jnpserver.jar - running aopc on the classes - Creating a new jnpserver.jar with the woven classes and making your pointcut available in server/default/deploy\/boss-aop.deployer/base-aop.jar View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985862#...
