org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException Failed to read candidate component class - spring-boot

Question

I've read similar post but still cannot resolve this problem. I am using JDK 8 and Spring 5. So it's not due to version issue.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to read candidate component class: file [G:\githome\product-aggregation\target\classes\com\roger\product\ipc\viewobject\product\MultiUnitVO.class]; nested exception is java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 90

It's like this. I developed a maven plugin and included it in my project. This plugin is used to generate fields for specific classes in process-classes phase. To achieve this, I used ASM(version 5.0) to modify classes. Maven dependency like this:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.roger</groupId>
<artifactId>permission</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-io/commons-io -->
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javassist</groupId>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<version>3.12.1.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>

<version>5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
<artifactId>asm-tree</artifactId>
<version>5.0</version>
</dependency>
Then I included it in my project.
<plugin>
<groupId>com.roger</groupId>
<artifactId>authorization-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>execution1</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>addFieldPermission</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
My project also has indirect dependency on ASM(version 5.0.4). I even upgraded ASM to 5.0.4(same as project), it's still going wrong.
I doubted that it's due to ASM conflict but have no idea how to fix it. Any idea?
EDIT Seems it has problem with the modified class. I debugged ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(spring-context-5.0.8) and found that exception thrown from line 430 just for the modified resources(as I said I added some fields in them by maven plugin). But I decompiled the modified classes using javap and found it's valid. I guess there is problem with the modified classes but don't know what's it.

Answer 1

As stated in the error log this is clear index out of bound exception.
Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 90

Answer 2

Finally I got a temp solution. I made the fields public and removed the methods generated and everything goes well.
The generated methods are the root cause. When I keep only the generated fields, Spring Boot started up successfully. Seems javassist 3.12.1.GA might go wrong with JDK 1.8. I will further investigate.
