Description Laurie Hendren CLA 2004-05-20 06:20:18 EDT 
In bug 53028 it was reported that the documentation of void return type for
around advice does not match the behaviour of the documentation.    This was 
reported as a 1.1.1 bug,  but it is still true for 1.2.    We have stumbled 
across this inconsitency ourselves.    Which is correct, the documentation or
the compiler?

The documentation says: "Whatever value the join point returned will be returned
by the around advice".

The compiler reports a type mismatch.
   Error applying to join point that doesn't return void.

Which is correct, the compiler or the documentation?   This seems to be a
relatively big change and needs to be highlighted somehow.

Resolved under bug 53028, the docs were incorrect - the compiler is right.
