Swagger 2 + Spring MVC + WAS 8.5.5 throwing java.lang.VerifyError: JVMVRFY013 for AOP classes

[Ranjith Kumar]

I am new to swagger, and trying to integrate swagger2 with my Spring MVC application which will be deployed into WAS 8.5.5. At the time of application startup, I am getting the below error,

Caused by: java.lang.VerifyError: JVMVRFY013 class loading constraint violated; class=org/springframework/aop/aspectj/MethodInvocationProceedingJoinPoint, method=getSourceLocation()Lorg/aspectj/lang/reflect/SourceLocation;, pc=0

My swagger configurations are as below,

1. Added swagger dependencies in pom.xml

<!-- Swagger dependencies -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>

    <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>

    <version>2.2.2</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

    <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>

    <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>

    <version>2.2.2</version>

</dependency>

2. Added below annotations to my controller classes/operations

@Api(value="eligibilityController", description="Eligibility services API")

@ApiOperation(value = "eligibilityQuery")

3. Swagger reource configuration in applicationContext.xml

<!-- Swagger configurations START -->

<mvc:resources mapping="/webjars/**" location="classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/"/> 

<mvc:resources mapping="/swagger-ui.html" location="classpath:/META-INF/resources/swagger-ui.html"/>

<mvc:default-servlet-handler/>    

<bean id="swagger2Config" class="springfox.documentation.swagger2.configuration.Swagger2DocumentationConfiguration"/>

<!-- Swagger configurations END -->

4. SwaggerConfig class

@Configuration

@EnableSwagger2

public class SwaggerConfig {

    @Bean

    public Docket api(){

        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)

            .select()

            .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())

            .paths(PathSelectors.any())

            .build()

            .apiInfo(apiInfo());

    }

    private ApiInfo apiInfo() {

        return new ApiInfoBuilder()

            .title("ResQPortal")

            .description("Medicare ResQPortal Module")

            .version("1.0")

            //.termsOfServiceUrl("http://terms-of-services.url")

            //.license("LICENSE")

            //.licenseUrl("http://url-to-license.com")

            .build();

    }

}

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
