java.lang.VerifyError: Incompatible argument to fu

问题:

Synopsis: I am trying to add around advice to my domain model, but my app won't deploy to tomcat because of an odd verification error.

Constraints: LTW is not an option here, so I'm using the aspectj-maven-plugin to provide CTW.

I am using IntelliJ-Idea and I'm deploying an exploded war, which I build on the command-line using maven (mvn clean install -DskipTests). I have disabled IntelliJ's automatic make, so the only compilation that's happening is through the command line.

When I deploy my application I get the following stacktrace:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: org/chaosengineers/ddd/services/PersistenceService, method: persistNewWord signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/chaosengineers/ddd/photons/WordStorePhoton;) Incompatible argument to function

回答1:

A VerifyError can be a result of a different library version found in classpath than used for compilation. Please check if this might be the case with any of your libraries including aspectjrt.jar, but also others. There is no AspectJ stuff in your callstack, so maybe it is not related to that at all.

P.S.: (off-topic) What is the reason to use such an outdated AspectJ version?

回答2:

It actually looks like a spring configuration error. What is happening is spring is trying to wire the bean and is unable to find a constructor that fits.

It looks like it is trying to auto wire up PersistenceService. I think it is expecting a String but instead it is getting a WordStorePhoton. (or the other way around).

(class: org/chaosengineers/ddd/services/PersistenceService, method: persistNewWord signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/chaosengineers/ddd/photons/WordStorePhoton;)

I would recommend instead of using @autowire for this particular bean, quickly create a spring config file and define the bean explicitly.

But it is definitely Spring causing the error. It's trying to create the bean and can't find the right constructor.

回答3:

Ok, after days of hard work I think I've found the correct answer. The problem went away when I introduced interfaces for my services. Therefore, I think the compiler (either javac or ajc, but most likely the latter) was corrupting the vtable in the bytecode, but the introduction of the interface somehow corrected the problem. I haven't gone as far as decompiling the bytecode to prove this is what actually happened, but the fact remains that introducing an interface fixed the issue.
