aspectj-users,

Can anyone shed any light on the following stack trace:

Is this a bug in the AspectJ compiler?

The above was obtained using load-time weaving with the following aspect:

@Aspect
public class ReportTimingAspect
{
  /**
   *  Pointcut definition for the RunReport entry point
   */
  @Pointcut("execution(* com.snip1.RunReport+.runReport(..)) &&
!within(ReportTimingAspect)")
  public void totalPointcut()
  {
  }

  /**
   *  Pointcut definition for the ReportRunner.run() method
   */
  @Pointcut("execution(* com.snip1.ReportRunner+.run(..)) &&
!within(ReportTimingAspect)")
  public void runnerPointcut()
  {
  }

  /**
   * 
   * @param jp_
   */
  @Around("totalPointcut()")
  public Object tetAdvice(ProceedingJoinPoint jp_) throws Throwable
  {
    <...some code...>

    try
    {
    <...some code...>
      return jp_.proceed();
    }
    catch (Throwable t)
    {
      t.printStackTrace();
      throw t;
    }
    finally
    {
    <...some code...>
    }
  }

  /**
   * 
   * @param jp_
   */
  @Around("runnerPointcut()")
  public Object retAdvice(ProceedingJoinPoint jp_) throws Throwable
  {
    <...some code...>
    try
    {
    <...some code...>
      return jp_.proceed();
    }
    finally
    {
    <...some code...>
    }
  }

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Jeff
