RE: [aspectj-users] AspectJ loadtime weaving limitation - Aspectwerkzsol

["Tatta, Sunder" <statta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sweet! Thanks Andy. The latest version seems to work.  But, to weave
private/final methods, I had to put the aspect class in the same package
as that of the class whose private/final methods are being weaved.

Have you tried a recent version of AspectJ? I believe this should be
working but I'm not an expert on classloaders and weavers in tomcat.
