[aspectwerkz-user] Aspect.aspectOf() behaviour

All,
If I apply a 'perTarget' Aspect to a object and call
Aspects.aspectOf(SimpleAroundAspect.class, testClass) then I get an
exception, NoAspectBound...(see below)
 
However, if a prior invocation has occured then Aspects.aspectOf(..) will
return the Aspect that was bound.... 
 
Ideally I would like to get access to an aspect bound to the object instance
regardless of whether or not it has been invoked. Is it possible to
determine/control the behaviour as its the kind of thing that will affect
component lifecycle when interacting with aspects...?
 
Cheers Neil.
 
TEST:
 public void testDifferendAspectInstanceGetsApplied() throws Exception {
  
  TestClass testClass = new TestClass();
>>>//  testClass.doStuff();
  
  Object aspect1 = Aspects.aspectOf(SimpleAroundAspect.class, testClass);
 }
}
