ArrayOutOfBoundsException on Bean creation while using Java 8 constructs

Question

I am getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on service start up (Bean creation) when i use Java 8 features.

Java 8 has been set up and has been working.

Answer 1

I found a bug recently when using Spring 3.0.5, which appears to be fixed in 4.0.5. Here are the details.

If you have a class that has a parameterized constructor and also has a method that uses a lambda expression (introduced in Java 8), then a ArrayIndexOutOfException occurs when creating a bean for that class.

Answer 2

Which version of Spring do you use? You need upgrade to Spring 4 to use Java 8 lambda expressions.
