[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAOP-722?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Flavia Rainone updated JBAOP-722: --------------------------------- Description: When the default constructor of an inner class is invoked by the external class, and this inner class lacks the constructor declaration, the JVM compiles this as a call to the constructor that receives an anonymous class as a parameter. Take a look at the sample below: public class ExternalClass { public void invokeIt() { new Pojo();} private static class Pojo {} } Wen this code is compiled, this is what the JVM will generate: public class ExternalClass { public void invokeIt() {new Pojo(null);} private static class Pojo { public Pojo() {} public Pojo (ExternalClass$1 ec) {} } If the execution of the default constructor needs to be intercepted on the scenario above, JBoss AOP will get confused with the constructor stuff, and the interception won't take place.. JBoss AOP will generate an empty wrapper for the Pojo(ExternalClass$1) constructor, and a wrapper that delegates to the interceptor chain for the default constructor. But, given that the first constructor is invoked, no interception will take place. was: When the default constructor of an inner class is invoked by the external class, and this inner class lacks the constructor declaration, the JVM compiles this as a call to the constructor that receives the external class as a parameter.
