Using JBoss AOP with Weblogic

[eyassud]

I hate to bring up this, but I have no choice. I have to use Weblogic at work, and I would like to use JBoss AOP.


Has anyone got this to work? I tried replacing the class loader with the one generated by org.jboss.aop.hook.GenerateInstrumentedClassLoader, but no luck.

I would appreciate any info.

let me know how it goes with Weblogic...Could you write a WIKI page if you figure it out?

You could try JDK 5.0 and the -javaagent stuff. Also, precompilation with AOPC. I know there is one guy using WLS out there.

If I get it to work, I will post a Wiki.

Here what I found out:

The 8.1 SP3 BEA JRockit JVM classloader is not really replacable, and therefore, the special class loader required for JBoss AOP can't fufil its function. The value of the java.lang.ClassLoader is hardcoded for performance reasons!!!

This may change in the 9.0 Weblogic, but I have no plans to test that.

Don't use JRockit. But, I do believe that JRockit JVM has hooks for transformers. Let me know if you investigate this.

Yes I did see a -Xbootclasspath option to the JRockit VM, but it doesn't work as stated.
