    Description

      As reported at first in mailing list [1], AspectJ's static optimizer was reviewed starting from 1.6.7 onward.
      A temporary workaround for this is to force usage of version 1.6.6 of AspectJ (quite ancient right now).

      At the moment Cocoon 3 is using latest Spring (3.1) and AspectJ (1.6.12) versions.

      With Spring 3.1, this workaround is not enough any more.

      One issue I reported already in mailing list when Jetty7 + recent AspectJ was failing, not the same issue is deeper and ServletContextFactoryBean doesn't work at all with Spring 3.1.
      Note that ServletContext is already in the Spring web-app context, although with another name ('servletContext'). This is available starting from Spring 3.0. Making an alias 'javax.servlet.ServletContext' -> 'servletContext' solves problem partially, but still fails on XMLSitemapServlet initialization (as it uses static field in ServletContextFactoryBean).

      I will attach a patch (a little bit dirty, but not more than the current implementation). But it assumes at least Spring 3.0.
      As Cocoon 3 project is moved to Java 1.6, it is probably also worth to have as a dependency at leas 3.0 version of Spring Framework (for Java5 generics etc.)
