[aspectj-users] ITDs and generic types

[Dave Whittaker <dave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm seeing some new weirdness with ITDs that mixin generic methods and  
I wanted to see if anybody could give me a clearer understanding of  
what's going on.  The issue is: I have a bunch of marker interfaces  
which I use to piece together the actions available on an object in a  
webapp (Create, Update, Delete, etc).  Thanks to Andy's recent bug  
fixes, this is working pretty well and using JSF components that  
recognize these marker interfaces and generate a lot of the HTML /  
Action Invocations for me it might make my life a lot easier.  The  
problem is I'm also using the JBoss Seam framework which has some  
strong ties to the Hibernate Validator framework.  To make a long  
story short, when certain methods are invoked on my actions, Seam  
insists on using the Hibernate Validator to validate the entire class,  
the Hibernate Validator tries to do a runtime resolution of type  
parameters, and the whole thing dies with an NPE.  Now, I know that  
there are still issue with how types are written out in woven class  
files which has caused the inconsistent class file error up until  
recently, so my question is... is that the same issue I'm seeing here  
as well?  Is AspectJ writing a Type value that is unresolvable at  
runtime via reflection?  Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks.
