Yes, ultimately I would like to be able to just let my deployment jars be
loaded by the aspectwerkz classloader. However, in trying to just get
anything working I stuffed it into every method/constructor that would take
it.

Yes, I noticed this line. But somehow context.getClassLoader() would NOT
return the classloader I passed in via InitialContext. IIRC, running
everything through a debugger revealed the classloader to be assigned to my
container the classloader defined in DefaultSystemContext, i.e. one of

 m_system = SystemContext.class.getClassLoader();
 m_common = Logger.class.getClassLoader();

Just to make sure that I didn't make a mistake: this is how it's supposed to
be, right? Deployment jars are not loaded by the classloader passed in the
initial context?

Here, are you referring to the current state of affairs, i.e. is there a
feature like

<classloader class|type|whatever="package.WeavingClassLoader">
 ...
</classloader>

which I could use now? Or are you referring to a possible future extension?

Me neither, but it sounds like fun to get both of 'em - merlin and
aspectwerkz - working.

Take care,

Olaf
