Spring 2.0 and XFire 1.2.4

[hydral]

I have a problem regarding spring 2.0 and XFire 1.2.4.
Here is a part of my config file:

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

<aop:config>
<aop:advisor id="managerTx" advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut="execution(* org.appfuse.service.*Manager.*(..))"/>
</aop:config>

<tx:advice id="txAdvice">
<tx:attributes>
<tx:method name="get*" read-only="true"/>
<tx:method name="*"/>
</tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>

<tx:annotation-driven/>
<bean name="echoService" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.ServiceBean">
<property name="serviceBean" ref="echo"/>
<property name="serviceClass" value="org.appfuse.xfire.Echo"/>
<property name="inHandlers">
<list>
<ref bean="addressingHandler"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="echo" class="org.appfuse.xfire.EchoImpl"/>

<bean id="addressingHandler" class="org.codehaus.xfire.addressing.AddressingInH andler"/>
<bean id="xfire.serviceRegistry" class="org.codehaus.xfire.service.DefaultServiceRe gistry" />
<bean id="xfire.transportManager" class="org.codehaus.xfire.transport.DefaultTranspo rtManager" />

<bean id="xfire" class="org.codehaus.xfire.DefaultXFire">
<constructor-arg index="0">
<ref bean="xfire.serviceRegistry" />
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg index="1">
<ref bean="xfire.transportManager" />
</constructor-arg>
</bean>

The problem is that at deploy time i get following error:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'echoService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy20

But, when I remove following block from config file everything is OK:
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

<aop:config>
<aop:advisor id="managerTx" advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut="execution(* org.appfuse.service.*Manager.*(..))"/>
</aop:config>

<tx:advice id="txAdvice">
<tx:attributes>
<tx:method name="get*" read-only="true"/>
<tx:method name="*"/>
</tx:attributes>
</tx:advice>

<tx:annotation-driven/>

Looks like XFire doesn't support proxied objects well ( ServiceFactory in this case ) . You can create jira issue ( http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Brow....jspa?id=10750 ) with this problem ( and plz attach testcase or simple project which can reproduce this ).

I don't much about Spring aop, but maybe there is some way to tell aspectj to not put proxy on object from xfire.codehaus.*.
