Can I create class using reflection?

[bornmw]

Hi!
I assume my question is about design of JBossAOP since users couldn't help me.
My question is simple.
I have a class that is post processed by aopc.
Does JBossAOP design let me I instantiate it using reflection?

When I try doing it I get this:

java -cp .:/projects/lib/jboss-aop_1.5.5.GA/lib-50/jboss-aop-jdk50.jar:/usr/local/pluto-1.1.4/shared
/lib/portlet-api-1.0.jar:/usr/local/pluto-1.1.4/webapps/AOPPortlet/WEB-INF/lib/concurrent.jar:/usr/l

e.jar ConstrTest
constructor = public Test()

My code is:

ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
Class clazz = loader.loadClass("Test");
for (int j = 0; j < clazz.getConstructors().length; j++) {
 Constructor constructor = clazz.getConstructors()[j];
 System.out.println("constructor = " + constructor);
}
Test t = (Test) clazz.newInstance();
System.out.println("t = " + t);

Test is a simple class with default constructor and one method that has aspect attached to it.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it not possible to construct aspectized classes using reflection at all?

Many thanks.

Hi. This question is not a discussion about design of AOP, so it belongs to the user forum.

You have posted your question there yesterday, give us developers some time to answer to you there.

Flavia,

Thanks for your reply.
I just started to wonder if I was trying to do something that was against JBossAOP design.
I will wait in users forum.
Just to give you a clue - I'm trying to add aspects to Pluto portlets, and Pluto instantiates portlets using reflection, so this is also a question about JBossAOP and Pluto compatibility.
