AspectJ Load time weaver doesn't detect all classes

Question

I am using Spring\'s declarative transactions (the @Transactional annotation) in \"aspectj\" mode. It works in most cases exactly like it should, but for one it doesn\'t. We can

Answer 1

Option 1) Aspect J is open source. Crack it open and see what is going on.

Option 2) Rename your class to Bang, see if it starts working

I would not be surprised if there is hard coding to skip "lang' in there, though I can't say why.

Edit -

Seeing code like this in the source

        if (superclassnameIndex > 0) { // May be zero -> class is java.lang.Object
            superclassname = cpool.getConstantString(superclassnameIndex, Constants.CONSTANT_Class);
            superclassname = Utility.compactClassName(superclassname, false);

} else {
            superclassname = "java.lang.Object";
        }

Looks like they are trying to skip weaving of java.lang.stuff.... don't see anything for just "lang" but it may be there (or a bug)
