@annotation pointcut is not matched with complex hierarchy and generics [SPR-17310]

[spring-projects-issues]

Yanming Zhou opened SPR-17310 and commented

Persistable   <-  BaseUser   <-  User

BaseManager<T extends Persistable>   <-  BaseUserManager<T extends BaseUser>  <-     UserManager<User> 

 
BaseManagerImpl<T extends Persistable>  <-  BaseUserManagerImpl<T extends BaseUser>  <-     UserManagerImpl<User>

The mostSpecificMethod should return method UserManagerImpl.save(User), but return BaseUserManagerImpl.save(BaseUser) which doesn't annotated, it will cause @annotation pointcut broken.

It seems eclipse compiler bug. I'm not sure it has relation with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495396

I have reported https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539651

Finally I figure it out, method.getDeclaringClass() return wrong class with eclipse compiler, it cause spring ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod() return wrong method.

@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
	Class<?> targetClass = UserManagerImpl.class;
	Method method = targetClass.getMethod("save", Persistable.class);
	assertEquals(targetClass, method.getDeclaringClass()); // eclipse compiler fail
}

javac create two bridge methods:

public void com.example.UserManagerImpl.save(com.example.Persistable)
public void com.example.UserManagerImpl.save(com.example.BaseUser)

ecj create only one bridge method:

public void com.example.UserManagerImpl.save(com.example.BaseUser)

It seems a corner case that JLS not covered, maybe it's not a bug of eclipse compiler, Juergen Hoeller could you make some changes to keep compatibility with both of them?

Workaround:

add two lines before return statement

resolvedMethod = BridgeMethodResolver.findBridgedMethod(resolvedMethod);
resolvedMethod = ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(resolvedMethod, specificTargetClass);

Minimized unit test, It will fail in eclipse.

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.springframework.aop.support.AopUtils;

public class AopUtilsTest {

	@Test
	public void testGetMostSpecificMethod() throws Exception {
		String methodName = "feed";
		Class<?> targetClass = DogService.class;
		Method targetMethod = targetClass.getDeclaredMethod(methodName, Dog.class);
		Method originalMethod = AnimalService.class.getDeclaredMethod(methodName, Animal.class);
		Method actualMethod = AopUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(originalMethod, targetClass);
		assertEquals("Please ensure class compiled with javac not eclipse", targetMethod, actualMethod);
	}

	public static class Animal {

	}

	public static abstract class Mammal extends Animal {

	}

	public static class Dog extends Mammal {

	}

	public static class AnimalService<T extends Animal> {
		public void feed(T obj) {
		}
	}

	public static class MammalService<T extends Mammal> extends AnimalService<T> {
		@Override
		public void feed(T obj) {
		}
	}

	public static class DogService extends MammalService<Dog> {
		@Override
		public void feed(Dog obj) {
		}
	}

}
