[aspectj-users] Cannot introduce getSize(0 method to java.util.Collectio

["Stearns, Randy" <RStearns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Cannot introduce getSize(0 method to java.util.Collection

I'm trying to get the size of a list in a jsp page:
<c:out value="Number of modules: ${viewableModules.size}"/>

As JSTL uses java bean properties (i.e. size is accessed as getSize()), this doesn't work:

ServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V() - Could not complete request
javax.servlet.ServletException: An error occurred while evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "Number of

 modules: ${viewableModules.size}": The "." operator was supplied with an index value of type "java.lang.String" to be a

pplied to a List or array, but that value cannot be converted to an integer.

I have tried to introduce the method:
public aspect JstlCollectionWrapper {

    public int ArrayList.getSize() {
        return size();
    }
}

But it still fails with that same error. Can someone explain what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Randy
