PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS Breaks AutoProxy

[matthew]

I am hoping someone can explain what I am doing wrong. If I use the following configuration, I receive "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Superclass has no null constructors but no arguments were given" for every bean in my context.

    <bean id="autoproxy" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator">
        <property name="proxyTargetClass">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="transactionAttributeSource"
       class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.NameMatchTransactionAttributeSource">
        <property name="properties">
            <props>
                <prop key="create*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
                <prop key="save*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
                <prop key="remove*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
                <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="transactionInterceptor" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor">
        <property name="transactionAttributeSource">
            <ref bean="transactionAttributeSource"/>
        </property>
        <property name="transactionManager">
            <ref bean="transactionManager"/>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="transactionAdvisor" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAttributeSourceAdvisor"
          autowire="constructor">
    </bean>

Yet, if I remove the

                <prop key="*">PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS</prop>

everything works perfectly.
