I've been using CXF for a webservice that is returning an ArrayList.
When I turned on component authorization to control access to some methods it all stopped working.
From what I can tell the aegis databinding gets the "proxy class" and that doesn´t contain any generics.
I guess one would need to be able to specify which class that the databinding should use.
My class do include generic information ArrayList<TreeMap<String,Object>> but that is gone when using BeanNameAutoProxyCreator.

I don't think I need to attach any config but adding below to my config makes it break:

<bean id="searchComponentSecurity" class="org.springframework.security.intercept.method.aopalliance.MethodSecurityInterceptor">
<property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager"/>
<property name="accessDecisionManager" ref="accessDecisionManager"/>
<property name="objectDefinitionSource">
<value>
com.pulsen.qid.services.SearchServiceImpl.searchPersonQIDDatabase=ROLE_READERS
com.pulsen.qid.services.SearchServiceImpl.searchPersonNavet=ROLE_WRITERS
</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="accessDecisionManager" class='org.springframework.security.vote.AffirmativeBased'>
<property name="decisionVoters">
<list>
<ref bean="roleVoter"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="autoProxyCreator" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list>
<value>searchComponentSecurity</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="beanNames">
<list>
<value>searchServiceComponent</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name='proxyTargetClass' value="true"/>
</bean>
<bean id="roleVoter" class="org.springframework.security.vote.RoleVoter"/>

Any ideas?
