ReflectionWorldException with transactionManager & AspectJ

[matid]

I'm trying to add AspectJ capabalities into my spring(2.0.2)-JBoss(4.05) application and have some problems.
when the application is started i get the following exception:

10:19:59,421 ERROR [ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in URL [jar:file:/D:/dev/projects/stargate/stargate-ui/exploded/stargate.war/WEB-INF/lib/stargate-domain-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/applicationContext-dao.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.aspectj.weaver.reflect.ReflectionWorld$ReflectionWorldException: warning can't determine implemented interfaces of missing type $Proxy53
 [Xlint:cantFindType]
Caused by:

 [Xlint:cantFindType]
	at org.aspectj.weaver.reflect.ReflectionWorld$ExceptionBasedMessageHandler.handleMessage(ReflectionWorld.java:163)

the bean transactionManager is defined in applicationContext-dao.xml:

    <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="mappingResources">
            <list>
                <value>hibernate/User.hbm.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <!-- Transaction manager for a single Hibernate SessionFactory  -->
    <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
        <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
    </bean>

on file applicationContext-service.xml i have the following aop configurations:

    <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>

    <!-- the transactional advice (i.e. what 'happens'; see the <aop:advisor/> bean below) -->
    <tx:advice id="txAdvice" transaction-manager="transactionManager">
        <!-- the transactional semantics... -->
        <tx:attributes>
            <!-- all methods starting with 'get' are read-only -->
            <tx:method name="get*" read-only="true"/>
            <!-- other methods use the default transaction settings (see below) -->
            <tx:method name="*"/>
        </tx:attributes>
    </tx:advice>
    <aop:config>
        <aop:pointcut id="businessServiceOperation"
                      expression="execution(* com.supportspace.stargate.service.*Manager.*(..))"
                />
        <aop:advisor advice-ref="txAdvice" pointcut-ref="businessServiceOperation" order="10"/>

    </aop:config>

Now, when i run integration test that loads the context everything seems to work fine. the problem seems to happen only when i deploy my application to JBoss. does anyone have an idea?

Adding aspectjtools.jar to the classpath solves the problem for me.
I still don't understand why it doesn't create a proxy and try to weave using aspectj.

Thanks.
Actually i'm not so sure about the exact cause of the problem, but it seems that upgrading to spring 2.0.5 (from spring 2.0.2) solved the problem.
of course both aspectjrt.jar and aspectjweaver.jar should be in the classpath.

Adding the aspectools still works for me.
