Yes, in general a project dependency is not sufficient to control
weaving across projects - you need to use the inpath, aspectpath,
and/or outjar settings.

Maybe this article is more useful (eventually I'll write a useful one! ;-)
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-aopwork9/
See the section on "Managing multiple projects". It shouldn't matter
that your projects are EJB and Web projects - if they are
AspectJ-enabled, you can still use the aspectpath setting to weave in
the aspects from the appropriate project.

Matt.
