Dont forget CGLIB

When using spring frameworks configuration bootstrapping mechanism I was getting an IllegalStateException. After scratching my head for a bit I realized I was missing cglib dependency:

  <dependency>
   <groupid>cglib</groupId>
   <artifactid>cglib-nodep</artifactId>
   <version>2.2.2</version>
   <scope>runtime</scope>
  </dependency>

Was getting the following before adding cglib:
