I successfully configured load-time weaving in my app, if this is an alternative for you.

My environment:

• JDK-1.6
• Spring-2.5.6
• JPA with eclipselink-1.1.0

Configuration details:

Spring XML configuration:

Spring annotations

@Configurable("baseEntity")
public abstract class BaseEntity

@Configurable("historyHandler")
public class HistoryJpaHandler extends SessionEventAdapter implements HistoryHandler 

Java VM Parameter

/bin/java -javaagent:/full/path/to/spring-agent-2.5.6.jar

Instances of historyHandler and baseEntitty are created by ecliselink. historyHandler in baseEntitty and historyDao in historyHandler is set by load-timeweaving.

You can set the VM Parameter in Eclipse run configuration or in Tomcats catalina.sh/bat.
