Re: [aspectj-users] staticinitialization and target class

no error - so did your advice actually apply? Were there any markers
in eclipse or weavinfo messages (if you built on the command line, Ant
or load time weaving)?
I suggested registering by name so you could drive the load of the
class outside of the bean in your registration handling mechanism.
