I would guess he simply wants to apply aspects to classes in his deployment jars. That is, he doesn't want to apply aspects to merlin itself but rather to his own applications running within merlin. Since all aop frameworks I know of need to drop in their own custom classloaders for loading those classes aspects are to be applied to I think what he tries to achieve is impossible. A few weeks ago you told me that merlin will always use its own classloader - not the one specified in DefaultInitialContext - for loading deployment classes. Thus there's no way for an aop framework to dynamically instrument the bytecode of applications deployed in merlin (see the thread "[Merlin] Integrating aspectwerkz into merlin" starting on 22/12/2003). That's the reason why I gave up on trying to integrate aspectwerkz into merlin.
