I'm thinking to make the Advisor an association of the EJBContainer instead of a super class. What do you think about that?

For annotation (/metadata) resolving there everybody must use the getAnnotation methods on the EJBContainer. ResolveAnnotation is also not allowed.

This is where the trouble of aop.xml starts. If it's augmenting we must have it before we process metadata. If it's using then it must run after processing of metadata. We keep pushing this forward to see how far we can get.
