Re: [aspectj-users] java.lang.StackOverflowError

[Ramnivas Laddad <ramnivas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Calvin,

I just tried to run example in section 5.5.1 with AspectJ 1.2 
and it seems to work fine. 

Can you provide the other source files (unless you are trying
with the shopping cart example in the chapter) so that I can 
reproduce the problem?

Thanks.
