<p class=MsoNormal>Hello List,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>we ran into a problem with javassist when recently
upgrading to hibernate 3.3.1.GA, whid did not occur with the previous cglib
implementation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We sometimes make use of the cloneable
interface and therefore have declared a public clone() on some objects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If those objects are initially loaded
lazily, even if they are fully initialized later on, a call to the clone()
method will result in a java.lang.IllegalAccessError at runtime.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This is caused by the Javassist proxy,
which exposes the protected clone() of java.lang.Object instead of the public definition
from the interface, which I believe to be a bug.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I submitted a proposed fix for this at </span><a
href="https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JASSIST-85"><span lang=EN-US>https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JASSIST-85</span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The result of the fix is, that the clone
method of the target is called, which returns a cloned instance of the target
object (not a clone of the proxy object), which is exactly what we need.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Maybe someone can give their 2 cent if this
is actually desired behavior or if this could cause unwanted side-effects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I believe it's in every case better than
the current state (runtime errors), and others seem to have had similar issues
as well<o:p></o:p></span></p>
