"CglibAopProxy: Unable to proxy method" WARN when bean class contains static final method [SPR-11107]

[spring-projects-issues]

Piotr Findeisen opened SPR-11107 and commented

When using <tx:annotation-driven /> and a bean class has

• @Transactional method
• public static final method someMethod

a warning is generated:

WARN [org.springframework.aop.framework.CglibAopProxy] - <Unable to proxy method [public static final void MyClass.someMethod()] because it is final: All calls to this method via a proxy will be routed directly to the proxy.>

This makes no sense -- static methods should not be proxied anyway (what would that mean?).

This is a regression compared to Spring 3.1.2, where the warning was not printed for static methods.
