Actually, on further inspection, it looks like this is a potential problem in
AspectJ. ReflectionBasedRefereceTypeDelegateFactory uses a classloader that is
set during initialization, but this classloader is not necessarily the correct
one. For example, in our app, we're running two wars within an ear (in jboss),
and we need classloader isolation between those two webapps. There are some
common beans in the ear so spring is initialized at the ear level, which ends
up
setting the "usingClassLoader"in ReflectionBasedReferenceTypeDelegateFactory to
the ear's classloader. But later, when the war specific beans are initialized,
this classloader does not have visibility to the war loaded objects, which
results in this failure.
Is my understanding of how this is working correct?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: How to turn of "optimized matching"?
Hi Andy -
Thanks for the quick reply. We are doing load time weaving. How do I specify
this option when using spring for the aop configuration? I tried adding an
aop.xml file to the ear's META-INF/ directory, but it doesn't seem to have an
effect.
The bug we're encountering is probably more on our side than in aspectj. Our
custom Adaptor Factory Bean returns a Proxy, which fails to be loaded by
ReflectionBasedReferenceTypeDelegateFactory (line 38) which results in the
creation of a MissingResolvedTypeWithKnownSignature type. During optimized
matching, it looks like it tries to get some information from the object (in
KindedPointcut, line 126), but since it's a
"MissingResolvedTypeWithKnownSignature", this results in an exception thrown
instead:
Post-processing of the FactoryBean's object failed; nested exception is
org.aspectj.weaver.reflect.ReflectionWorld$ReflectionWorldException: warning
can't determine modifiers of missing type $Proxy380
[Xlint:cantFindType]
The specific problem seems to be that our custom adaptor factory bean loads the
proxy in a different class loader than the World is initialized with. The
deployment consists of an ear with multiple wars, and the first war ends up
initializing spring/aspectj, so its classloader is the one used by the World,
but other wars end up using a different classloader for the proxy object. Once
the postprocessing is allowed to occur in the first war and the object is
cached, the problem goes away. In aspectj 1.5.3, this wasn't a problem, but I
can't find source code to step through what it's doing differently. I assumed
turning off the optimized matching in 1.6.9 would help, since that's where the
above exception is coming from (plus everything works after it's correctly
loaded/post processed by the first war). That would be a quick fix while we
tried to untangle the classloader problems.
Thanks.
