NPE on ConstructorCallMatcher ----------------------------- Key: JBAOP-348 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-348 Project: JBoss AOP Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.0.0.alpha2 Reporter: Flavia Rainone Fix For: 2.0.0.alpha3 This bug happens on generated advsior instrumentation, in the following scenario: - class A extends B - B is advised by AOP - A is not advised by AOP - B calls constructor of A - calls to A constructor are identified by a pointcut During the instrumentation of a class B, the call to constructor of A is identified. As a consequence, during the matching process, A temporary advisor is required, through AspectManager.getTempClassAdvisorIfNotExist method. This method identifies A as advisable (since it extends an advisable class, B) and tries to retrieve its advisor instead of getting a temporary class advisor. Since A doesn't have the class advisor field, aspect manager retrieves its super class advisor. However, this value isn't set yet because we are still instrumenting B class. Hence, a null advisor is returned, what triggers the NullPointerException on ConstructorCallMatcher. To reproduce this bug, it is enough to alter beforeafterArgs tests, by making TargetCallerPOJO a superclass of TargetCallerPOJO2.
