Hi rod and all Spring experts,

I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to solve after reading through many posts here and Spring javadoc for a few hours.

Now i have defined an interface springtest.Bean, and a class springtest.BeanImpl implements the Bean interface.

In the following xml segment, if i uncomment proxyInterfaces and comment proxyTargetClass, the program works as expected. However, if i comment proxyInterfaces and uncomment proxyTargetClass, it gives me the following exception:



Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'myLovelyBean' defined in class path resource [aopbeans.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.aopalliance.aop.AspectException: null


My understanding of the interception in Spring is that if it is an interface, Spring uses JDK dyn proxy while if it is a class, Spring delegates the job to CGLIB. So in either way, the program should work in the same way and the only difference is the underlying implementation of the proxied bean and mayby some runtime overhead. But it seems that Spring works differently, can anybody enlighten me on this? And probably give me an explanation why my "proxyTargetClass" doesnot work?

Thank you for your help in advanced!!!!




<bean id="beanTarget" class="springtest.BeanImpl"/>
<bean id="myLovelyBean" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
<!-- This works
<property name="proxyInterfaces"><value>springtest.Bean</value>
</property> -->
<!-- This won't work -->
<property name="proxyTargetClass"><value>true</value></property>
<property name="target"><ref local="beanTarget"/></property>
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list><value>foxlogging.advisor1</value></list>
</property>
</bean>

I did a cut and paste - it worked on my system with my test interceptors (Spring 1.1.5). Can you post your interceptor configuration? Is there anymore stack trace?

Hi

have you found a solution yet ? I tried the example described in
http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=15320 , but I get the following error:



[main] 13.10.05 13:12:31 1883 DEBUG DefaultListableBeanFactory - Bean 'paintColorAdvisor' instantiated via constructor [public org.springframework.aop.support.DefaultIntroductio nAdvisor(org.aopalliance.aop.Advice)]

Exception in thread "main"

I tried the following, but I never got it working :
- tried the newest release (1.2.5) and an older one (Spring 1.1.5) using the dependent jars distributed with spring
- tried the newest CGLIB release
- changed JVM from Java 1.3 to Java 1.4
- changed IBM JVM to Sun JVM

after some debugging I figured out that CGLIG cannot create the proxy for the class for some reason.

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong (spring newbie) ?

I can't see any problem with the code, but if it persists can you post a reproducible test case to JIRA and I will look at this for the next release.

I hope I can submit a test for that - I will try my best.

reduced to the minimum the following code causes the same (but more specific error) in my environment (Spring 1.2.5, Sun JDK 1.4) :



public static void main&#40;String&#91;&#93; args&#41; &#123;
ProxyFactory pf = new ProxyFactory&#40;&#41;;
pf.setProxyTargetClass&#40;true&#41;;
pf.addAdvice&#40;new DebugInterceptor&#40;&#41;&#41;;
Object myTarget = new Object&#40;&#41;;
pf.setTarget&#40;myTarget&#41;;
Object m = &#40;Object&#41; pf.getProxy&#40;&#41;;
&#125;


produces the following :

I have no idea !

Do you have multiple versions of either Spring, CGLIB or ASM on the classpath.

Your are right !

I checked my classpath and found an old cglib-2.0-rc2.jar on my classpath before the jars that come with spring. (I accidentially confused my eclipse build-time classpath with the runtime configuration, which was different). Thank you very much, Rob!

For all others : spring.jar commons-logging.jar log4j-1.2.9.jar cglib-nodep-2.1_2.jar is sufficient to run the example I mentioned above (read readme.txt !). The error is sort of misleading because you dont get a NoClassDefFound message as usual.

Indeed it is. The general problem here is that there are in fact two instances of the class found so a NoClassDefFoundError would be even more confusing.

In general if you ever see errors where it says something like 'Cannot assign com.myapp.MyClass to com.myapp.MyClass' or 'Invalid type com.myapp.MyClass' and you know the type is right then you probably have two instances of the class loaded.

Always remember that class X loaded by ClassLoader A is not the same as class X loaded by ClassLoader B.
