Inconsistent problems using Spring 2 and AspectJ integration

[samokk]

Hi,

I am using Spring 2 and AspectJ in order to dependency-inject POJOs that are persisted using Hibernate Entity Manager (using Spring 2 JPA support).

So basically, the POJOs that need to be instantiated by spring are @Configurable, and everything seems to work perfectly both in J2SE JUnit tests and inside a Webapp, (I am using the compile-time weaver plugin for maven2).

However, on some computers, (apparently windows Boxes, but also ubuntu linux), The application doesn't want to start (using the same JDK 5 that works on the other boxes), and reports the following problem :

Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory': FactoryBean which is currently in creation returned null from getObject



the stacktrace is attached.Note that ContactInformation is a @Configurable class, that needs a reference to accountDao to be instantiated.
(I repeat that the exact same code works fine on some other computers). It is like if there were a cyclic dependency introduced by AspectJ.....



Thanks for your help,

For Your information, the problem arises both with Spring 2.0.2 and 2.0.1...

Hmm..
