[aspectj-users] java.lang.VerifyError on Sun VM 1.4

[Prashant Nair <prashant.nair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am having trouble using LTW with AspectJ 5. I am trying to achieve this on
a Sun VM 1.4 with Weblogic SP3. As AspectJ does not support LTW on Sun VM's
in application servers I am using Alex Vasseur's patch that achieves LTW
using AspectWerkz  prepared bootclasspath method. 

http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/avasseur/archives/001140_aspectj_5_load_tim
e_weaving_with_java_13_using_aspectwerkz.html

The application is a WAR and I have defined a aop.xml that is placed in
war.WEB-INF/classes/META-INF folder. The aop.xml contains the following

<aspectj>
      <aspects>
		<aspect name="net.sf.infrared.aspects.aj.StrutsAspect"/>
      </aspects>
</aspectj>

The Struts aspect has the pointcut defined as 
			execution(public *
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet+.*(..))
			|| execution(public * javax.servlet.Filter+.*(..));

On starting up the server it tries to weave in the aspect and I get a
java.lang.VerifyError the trace of which is given below.

Any pointers to why this occurs would be great.
