Very rarely problems may be encountered with classes that have been
load-time woven.
Symptoms will include incorrect program function or a Java exception such as
<tt>java.lang.VerifyError</tt>.
In these situations it's most helpful to include the offending class
in the bug report. When using load-time weaving the woven classes are
in memory only so to save them to disk configure
<tt>META-INF/aop.xml</tt> to dump the classes (by default
to an <tt>_ajdump</tt> subdirectory of the current working
directory). Also if the input class file is not available
(e.g. it is a generated proxy or has already been instrumented by another agent)
you can configure the weaver to dump the input classes as well.

For details of how to configure byte-code dumping, see the
AspectJ Development Environment Guide section on
<a href="../devguide/ltw-configuration.html#configuring-load-time-weaving-with-aopxml-files" target="_top">
Configuring Load-time Weaving</a>.
Following is a simple example.
</p></div><div class="sect2"><a name="ltwdump-examples"></a><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="ltwdump-examples"></a>LTW Dump Examples</h3></div></div><p> The following <tt>META-INF/aop.xml</tt> will
weave classes in the <tt>com.foo</tt> package (and subpackages) but not
CGLIB generated classes in the <tt>com.foo.bar</tt> package (and subpackages).
It will also ensure all
woven byte-code is dumped both before and after weaving. </p><pre class="programlisting">
