Kabir, When I do what you suggested (which totally makes sense) I am still getting null. Here is what I have been able to tell after downloading the jboss-aop_1.5.0.GA source: invocation.resolveAnnotation(Timer.class) jumps into org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.resolveAnnotation(Class annotation). Here is that method:public Object resolveAnnotation(Class annotation) | | { | | 1 Object val = super.resolveAnnotation(annotation); | | 2 if (val != null) return val; | | 3 if (getAdvisor() != null) | | 4 { | | 5 val = getAdvisor().resolveAnnotation(getMethod(), annotation); | | 6 if (val != null) return val; | | 7 } | | 8 return null; | | } | Line 1 returns null therefore line 2 does nothing | getAdvisor() in line 3 returns non null so that line 5 is executed | Here is the code for org.jboss.aop.Advisor.resolveAnnotation(Method m, Class annotation):public Object resolveAnnotation(Method m, Class annotation) | | { | | 01 if (metadataContext != null) | | 02 { | | 03 Object val = metadataContext.getAnnotation(m, annotation); | | 04 if (val != null) return val; | | 05 } | | 06 | | 07 if (annotations.isDisabled(m,annotation)) | | 08 return null; | | 09 | | 10 Object value = annotations.resolveAnnotation(m, annotation); | | 11 if (value == null) value = AnnotationElement.getVisibleAnnotation(m, annotation); | | 12 return value; | | } | Interesting note: the "annotations" property on the Method object "m" that is passed into this method is null | Line 01 doesn't do anything because the metadataContext is null | Line 07 doesn't do anything because no annotations are "disabled" | Line 10 doesn't do anything because the "annotations" property on "m" is null | Line 11 is interesting. Because I am using JDK 1.5 it doesn't actually invoke AnnotationElement.getVisibleAnnotation(m, annotation). Instead it invokes Method.getAnnotation(Class annotationClass) which tries to get the "declaredAnnotations" list, which is empty, so it does nothing | therefore null is returned to org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.resolveAnnotation(Class annotation) which in turn returns null to invocation.resolveAnnotation(Timer.class) | | | Is this expected behavior?
