Description

I have annotated a method in a page class with @Operation. When the method is called, a VerifyError is thrown:

2014-11-24 13:19:46,685 [ajp-nio-9209-exec-33] ERROR o.a.t.m.T.RequestExceptionHandler - Processing of request failed with uncaught exception: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: pages/PageName$Invocation_methodName_1d10f8d1d549bc, method: proceedToAdvisedMethod signature: ()V) Incompatible argument to function

.
The problem occurs with Java 7 as well as with Java 8 and regardless of whether the operation description contains a % or not.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem on a different machine.
If I use OperationTracker "manually", no VerifyError is thrown.
The advised method throws multiple checked exceptions and an Error.
I'm not entirely sure what the error means, but I assume, the proceedToAdvisedMethod method is invoked with parameters, so it might be an issue with plastic rather than with tapestry-core.
