T Rich [http://community.jboss.org/people/techtigre1] created the discussion "JBoss AOP error message - org.jboss.aop.SuperClassesFirstWeavingStrategy error" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/594892#594892 -------------------------------------------------------------- Can anyone shed some light as to why I get this error message: *ERROR [org.jboss.aop.SuperClassesFirstWeavingStrategy] (main) java.lang.RuntimeException: Error converting class.*   The following is my JBoss AS configuration: 1 JBoss 5.1.0GA setup/configured successfully 2 JBoss AOP 2.1.8GA setup/deployed successfully 3 Custom Webapp(HelpDesk.ear) deployed on JBoss AS with custom annotations from *another* framework works successfully (e.g. annotations, custom aspect from third party framework work as advertised) 4. Created a second javaagent that bytecode weaves the Custom Webapp classes and adds third party annotations to specified class; custom agent works and *does* instrument the Webapp class successfully however the above error message happens at runtime. Note: The second javaagent properly instruments a method with before/after code (timing code), but the when i try and add the annotation to a method the error above happens at runtime.
