[aspectj-users] around advice causes JVM crash

[Bo Yi <boyi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I have a very simple advice (applying to WebSphere 5.1.1.x code), I had
narrowed done to the following:
public aspect SessionAssuranceAspect {
      HttpSession around (boolean create) : execution(HttpSession
SRTServletRequest.getSession(boolean)) && args(create) {
          System.out.println("Around getSession()");
          HttpSession session = (HttpSession) proceed(create);
          return session;
      }
}

Crash happens every time the advice is executed. When the system crash, I
got a Java core dump. And the system.out in the code did not show in log
file.

Of course, getSession is a complex call, that uses ThreadLocal variables
and the request itself is a thread. That's all I can differences I can
think of from simple cases. before and after advices works fine on the same
pointcut.

Any one knows about this problem?

Thanks,

Bo
