Great to hear that worked for me.

aspect classes in a child class loader for LTW?


HI RON,

Thnax a lot :)
As you suggested I kept aop1.xml file in conf folder of my application (file
in system classpath)
in which I could mention the aspects to be excluded while loadtime weaving.
And aop2.xml (second aop xml) which contains the list of all aspects is
bundled within jar file. This worked perfectly for me as I wanted to turn on
or off aspects selectively without redeploying my ear.

Regards,
Sandesh.
