I have defined a pointcut for the execution of private constructors on classes annotated with *@EntityTXAttribute*. However, while the weaving is going on, an ArrayOutOfBounds exception occurs, and having run it through the debugger, it seems to make sense why, but I am noit sure how to fix it. The pointcut expression is: *execution(public !static * @entitypojo.annotations.EntityTXAttribute->*(..)) * *OR execution(protected !static * @entitypojo.annotations.EntityTXAttribute->*(..)) * *OR execution(private @entitypojo.annotations.EntityTXAttribute->new(..))* * * or +*all public non-static methods in annotated classes, and all private constructors*.+ The method invocation interceptions work perfectly, btw. My bean has 2 ctors, on parameterized and one not. I set a debugger break point on org.jboss.aop.Advisor line 1870 where the error occurs. What I see is this: The instance has an array called *constructors* which has 4 constructors in it, 2 of which I defined and 2 of which appear to be synthetic. They broadly look like this: 1. private Bean()   (mine) 2. Bean(javassist.runtime.Inner)   (synthetic) 3. private Bean(String, String)     (mine) 4. Bean(String, String, javassist.runtime.Inner)   (synthetic) However, the array of *constructorInfos* only has 2 entries in it which are 1. private Bean()   (mine) 2. private Bean(String, String)     (mine) The method code looks like this: *protected void resolveConstructorPointcut(AdviceBinding binding)    {       for (int i = 0; i < constructors.length; i++)       {          Constructor<?> constructor = constructors[i];          if (binding.getPointcut().matchesExecution(this, constructor))          {             if (AspectManager.verbose) logger.debug("constructor matched binding: " + constructor);             adviceBindings.add(binding);             binding.addAdvisor(this);* *            // this is where the error occurs. Line 1870.             pointcutResolved(constructorInfos[i], binding, new ConstructorJoinpoint(constructor));             // if we must keep track of deprecated fields and the field is already initialized             if (AspectManager.maintainAdvisorMethodInterceptors && constructorInterceptors != null)             {                constructorInterceptors[i] = constructorInfos[i].getInterceptors();             }          }       }    }* This code assumes the number of *constructorInfos* is at least the same as the number of *constructors*, but since it is not, it throws an array out of bounds exception. Am I doing something wrong here, or is it a bug ? Much appreciated. //Nicholas -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/564607#564607] Start a new discussion in JBoss AOP at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
