IllegalAccessError for some auto-configured beans when enabling AspectJ load time weaving

[pdeneve]

Created this issue as suggested here.

To enable AspectJ load time weaving in a Spring application, one would use the @EnableLoadTimeWeaving annotation as outlined in the Spring reference documention. Due to issue 29609 this is not working and a workaround proposed involves registering AspectJWeavingEnabler and DefaultContextLoadTimeWeaver upfront when instantiating the application context. For a spring boot application, this looks as follows:

SpringApplication.run(new Class[] { Config.class, AspectJWeavingEnabler.class, MyLoadTimeWeaver.class }, args);

With MyLoadTimeWeaver extending DefaultContextLoadTimeWeaver and annotated with @Component("loadTimeWeaver") because the name of the LoadTimeWeaver bean "loadTimeWeaver" is expected by the framework.

When running the application, some auto-configured beans cannot be accessed anymore. E.g. for the spring.boot.ltw module in this repository, the following stacktrace is produced:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSourceScriptDatabaseInitializer' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/sql/init/DataSourceInitializationConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'dataSourceScriptDatabaseInitializer' parameter 0: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceConfiguration$Hikari.class]: failed to access class org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.PropertiesJdbcConnectionDetails from class org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.JdbcConnectionDetailsBeanPostProcessor (org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.PropertiesJdbcConnectionDetails is in unnamed module of loader 'app'; org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.JdbcConnectionDetailsBeanPostProcessor is in unnamed module of loader org.springframework.context.support.ContextTypeMatchClassLoader$ContextOverridingClassLoader @159e366)

To reproduce yourself:

• Clone this repository
• Checkout branch spring_boot_issue
• Execute mvn compile -pl spring.boot.ltw
• Make sure JAVA_HOME points to a Java 21 JDK
• Execute mvn dependency:properties exec:exec -pl spring.boot.ltw

It is possible to workaround this issue by defining manually the beans for which an IllegalAccessError occurs. E.g. for the sample project, uncomment the @Bean annotation for the JdbcConnectionDetails bean in Config.java and it will work.

@pdeneve I don't think the instruction to reproduce are correct. Shouldn't we do something before exec:exec?

[pdeneve]

@snicoll Thanks for having a look. You're right, you need to run mvn compile before. I've updated the instructions. Please note I've just updated all dependencies, so please pull. The updated instructions apply to the new version.
