Hi,
I have a session bean (ejb3) with a custom aspect domain. If the ejb is deployed as jar it works fine.
The *-aop.xml can be found in the jar META-INF.

If the ejb is deployed as EAR jboss5.1.0.GA throws exception:

{

DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:

}

I got the same result using the @AspectDomain annotaion in the bean or creating a jboss.xml (basis on the http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossejb3/freezone/docs/reference/1.0.7/html/SessionBean_and_MDB_configuration.html).

In jboss4.2.3 this feature works correctly.

The ejb staff is:

{code:java}
package test.aop;

public interface Hello
{
   void hello();
}
 
package test.aop;

import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.AspectDomain;

@Stateless
@Remote(Hello.class)
@AspectDomain("TestDomain")
public class HelloBean implements Hello
{

  @Override
  public void hello()
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

}
package test.aop;

import org.jboss.aop.advice.Interceptor;
import org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.Invocation;

public class HelloInterceptor implements Interceptor
{
  public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable
  {
    System.out.println("*** say hello ***");
    return invocation.invokeNext();
  }
  
  public String getName()
  {
    return HelloInterceptor.class.getName();
  }
}
{code}

The custom aop is:

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<aop xmlns="urn:jboss:aop-beans:1.0">

    <interceptor class="test.aop.HelloInterceptor" scope="PER_VM"/>

    <domain name="TestDomain">
      <bind pointcut="execution(* $instanceof{@javax.ejb.Remote}->*(..))">
         <interceptor-ref name="test.aop.HelloInterceptor"/>
      </bind>

      <annotation expr="!class(@org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool)">
          @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Pool (value="StrictMaxPool", maxSize=5, timeout=10000)
      </annotation>
     </domain>
</aop>
{code}

Anybody else had this issue?

Thanks
Andrew
