Why is this? + </para> + </question> + <answer> + <para>When weaving after advice into any piece of code, the AspectJ strategy is to make all + exit points from that code jump to a single exit point that executes the advice + before returning. There is a verifier rule in the JVM specification that specifies + that all routes to a jump destination must have the same height stack when they get there, + regardless of the route taken to get there through the bytecode. The CGLIB generated code has different + stack heights at the various exit points. This is not a problem with the CGLIB generated code, + it is perfectly valid - it is just unusual and the AspectJ weaving strategy causes the + verify error to trigger when it makes all exits jump to a single destination. + </para> + <para>AspectJ could cope with this and instead implement after advice by calling the + advice and returning at each exit point. However, it is unlikely that the user + actually meant to weave the CGLIB generated code in the first place - and so usually + the right thing to do is to exclude CGLIB generate code from the weaving process by + appropriate use of the exclude element in the aop.xml.
