EventListenerMethodProcessor resolves classes (by MethodIntrospector) of lazy beans causing NoClassDefFoundError [SPR-14330]

[spring-projects-issues]

David Rain opened SPR-14330 and commented

After upgrading from 4.1.x to 4.2.5 and 4.2.6 we encounter the same problem mentioned in #17619.
It seems it still persist... in another piece of code.
org.springframework.context.event.EventListenerMethodProcessor#processBean calls MethodIntrospector#selectMethods which in turn calls ReflectionUtils#doWithMethods. In this method there's a call to getDeclaredMethods which fires NoClassDefFoundError (during reflection) even on lazy beans. This in turn wraps to BeanInitializationException and is fired out.
