It is not possible to get the calling object using the "execution" flavour. The NPE for the call pointcut looks like a bug, I have created a testcase and we should be able to get this fixed in cvs next week. Note that it might not be possible to use a PER_INSTANCE scoped interceptor in this scenario, but we will look next week. Does it need to be per instance? http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-336 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3996985#...
