Hello, C3 developers.

After C3 has updated its dependencies to use AspectJ 1.6.11 it become impossible to use it with Jetty 7. The problem could be easily reproduced in cocoon-sample-webapp by replacing maven-jetty-plugin of Jetty 6 with the following (actually any Jetty 7 version will give the same result):

<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.4.5.v20110725</version>
<configuration>
<connectors>
<connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
<port>8890</port>
<maxIdleTime>30000</maxIdleTime>
</connector>
</connectors>
<webAppSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</webAppSourceDirectory>
<contextPath>/</contextPath>
</configuration>
</plugin>

I've tried to debug this problem and it seems that it is related to two things. 1) AspectJ in version 1.6.7 changed the way how it does static optimizations, so some cases that were working before are broken because it has not enough information at the optimization time. 2) Cocoon Servlet Service Framework is the one of such cases. It fails on cocoon-servlet-service-impl-1.2.0/META-INF/cocoon/spring/cocoon-ssf-urlhandler-advice.xml where it tries to apply pointcut "execution(* javax.servlet.Servlet.service(..)) and bean(*/embedded)" to the ServletContext. The problem is that Jetty 7 returns an implementation instance that is isolated from the web-app classloader. It is perfectly legal and I believe same thing will happen on most modern JEE containers, especially when many of them are moving to OSGI and alternatives. AspectJ tries to resolve this hidden class by name and fails, so it cannot validate if it can do optimizations and then fails with the described error.

A quick google search returned some interesting threads.
I'll dig around a little and see what I can find out / fix.

Nice catch!

Some things I found out so far:

1) AspectJ does not support short-circuit evaluation of pointcuts, so doing something like "!within(org.eclipse.jetty..*) and execution(...)" won't help 2) Spring-AOP does use AspectJ, but you don't get to touch any of the nice settings/properties you can read about in the AspectJ documentation (we'd need to use Load-Time Weaving for that) 3) The problem is not the pointcut itself, but the beans that are available for AOP post-processing. Introducing beans into the Spring context that have been obtained from outside the context, potentially created with a foreign class loader is dangerous. (In this case it's the ServletContext that is exposed via org.apache.cocoon.spring.configurator.impl.ServletContextFactoryBean by the spring-configurator)
4) Other people have run into the similar problems: e.g.
http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?109227-AspectJ-Problem-warning-can-t-determine-superclass-of-missing-type-Proxy28
http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?82421-Is-it-normal-for-AspectJ-to-post-process-OSGi-references

The solutions other people seem to choose are:
1) Configure AspectJ to ignore those classes or ignore that specific error.
2) Make sure those objects are not subject to proxying / fix the class loader problems.
3) Downgrade to an AspectJ version before optimized matching was introduced.

Technically, all those solutions are available to us.
1) requires to switch to Load-Time Weaving. This might or might not have side-effects. I couldn't even begin to speculate... 2a) don't expose the ServletContext in the spring-configurator or prevent it from receiving a proxy (mark as synthetic bean?) 2b) add jetty-webapp to the dependencies of your webapp, so that the class is visible
3) Downgrade to 1.6.6


I think 1)  and 2a) are risky.
3) is odd, because we just upgraded for some reason.
2b) is quite a kludge but a very precise, rather risk-free and completely and easily reversible one, if required.

:/



I think it serious problem and need to be solved... As I can see SSF has not been changed for long time, so do we have anyone who remembers how it works and is able to fix it? Where to submit bugreport? SSF is technically in Cocoon 2 JIRA, while almost no activity happening there and I am not sure it will be noticed there, while Cocoon 3 does not have SSF component...

That might indeed become a problem, because C2 and C3 are sharing that code and it actually belongs to C2.
But lets take this one step at a time.
There are some indications that this could be resolved by configuration...
