[seam-dev] Javassist limitation?

Yep, exactly what I was about to write in response. So essentially we
are getting the same behavior as we would with a JDK proxy.

So the decision for the future is to whether this is just the way life
is going to be or whether we need to find a general approach to allow
more fine-grained interceptor calls. I doubt that JBoss AOP is the
only library that solves this problem. I have no doubt the Spring guys
will just love to kick us over this issue (given that AspectJ can
handle it). One response is that simplicity is better.
