I have the same problem. From what I saw I AOP source code the ClassAdvisor.resolveFieldPointcut() method is trying to make an incorrect comparation. If I declare | public class A{ | private int field1; | | public void setField1(int value){ | this.field1=value; | ... | }; | | } | | public class B extends A{ | ... | } | for a pointcut class B-->field1 (declared in class A), it compares classB->field1 (pointcut declaration) with classA->field1 (retrived by javassist ). Maybe the comparation should be extended to the entire hierarchy. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4001043#...
