can not access a member of class org.springframework.aop.TruePointcut with modifiers public

I am developing a Spring application using Struts and the Struts JSON plugin. When I run the application it gives the following error (in Firebug):

org.apache.struts2.json.JSONException: org.apache.struts2.json.JSONException: org.apache.struts2.json.JSONException: org.apache.struts2.json.JSONException: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.apache.struts2.json.JSONWriter can not access a member of class org.springframework.aop.TruePointcut with modifiers public

This is full stack trace:

For me that message meant I was calling instance.getClass().getMethod("methodName") but for some reason because it was actually defined in a parent class (@Override) this worked instead: instance.getClass().getSuperClass().getMethod("methodName")

In my case I was trying to access public constructor of a non public class.

class MyClass {
  public MyClass() {}
}

//...
MyClass c = JsonIterator.deserialize(bytes, MyClass.class)

Throws: ReflectionMapDecoder can not access a member of class MyClass with modifiers "public"

Added public and it works.

public class MyClass {
  public MyClass() {}
}

This class is not public itself. It is package protected (see here). You have to call setAccessible(true) before access its member exactly as when you access private or protected member.

EDIT. Unfortunately you have not provided full stack trace. If this exception is result of your activity (I mean you try to access member of Spring class yourself) the solution is above. If however this happened as result of frameworks collision please send more details. Probably your versions of Struts and Spring are not compatible or some additional configuration is required.
