Hi! I'm having a very interesting issue with CGLIB proxies. I'm proxying my actions with Spring AOP (to get declarative transactions on each Action).
Everything is working great, except when I try action chaining, I get a class cast exception that Action2 can't be cast to Action1 (Action1 is first in the chain). This was very unusual, so I investigated. Here's what I found: OgnlUtil.copy() is calling all of the getters in Action1 and pumping that data into setters on Action2. With CGLIB, it calls getCallbacks() and setCallbacks(), two methods created by CGLIB. This results in Action2 having Action1's callbacks. Basically, it's similar to the Action2 proxy referencing the Action1 target! I can't use JDK proxies because the getters on my action (whose values will be part of the value stack) are not defined on any interfaces, so reflection on a JDK proxy will not find those getters. I have a few ideas for workarounds, but I'd like to ask: has anyone else seen this? Am I the first to try CGLIB proxies and Action chaining? I've also read that action chaining is discouraged, but I don't understand why. Maybe a completely different approach would work better? Thanks!
