Re: [aspectwerkz-user] Hot deploy

Hi Bruno

Yes it should work. I don't know what you mean by "putting an EAR
containing the aspects".

1/ if the aspects are in the EAR "A" and that you expect those to
weave ejb / whatever in another EAR "B" then it won't work. This is
due to Java class loading rules, and J2EE deployment, not to AW / AOP.

2/ if the aspects are in the EAR "A" and that you expect those to
weave ejb / whatever inside this EAR (including webapp, ejb jar etc
within this EAR) then it will work. The aspects can then be weaved in
at classload time, or as you seem to ask, be just there (packaged) and
hotdeployed using AW programmatic API (Deployer.xxx(..))  that you
wrap behind any layer you like - an MBEAN to expose the deploy /
undeploy thru JBoss console is indeed possible.
