Yep, I'm saying that - or at least that what appears to happen... the project is quite complex, so I could be wrong. I'll try to build a mini test over the weekend, so I can try to replicate this behaviour. As regards the other questions, I'm using loadtime, and did not try compile-time (I have no idea how to do it atm, I'll check it out). Yes, the -aop.xml has been deployed when the timer fires.
