Issue instantiating bean - verify error

Question

I have the following problem: I have a bean (named ImageStorageService), and I want to instantiate that bean in a servlet using the following code

WebApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(httpSession
            .getServletContext());
IImageStorageService dataService = (IImageStorageService) context
            .getBean("ImageStorageService");

obviously the bean class implements IImageStorageService.

The problem is that when these lines are executed, the following error is throwed:

java.lang.VerifyError: (class: myproject/myclass/ImageStorageService, method: writePdfFile signature: (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lmyproject/myobjects/IObject;)Ljava/io/File;) Call to wrong initialization method

Does anyone know which is the problem? Thanks so much

Edit

Bean declaration

<bean id="ImageStorageService" scope="session"
    destroy-method="clean"
    class="myproject.myclass.ImageStorageService">
    <property name="objectService" ref="SuperUserObjectService" />
    <property name="dataDictionaryService" ref="DataDictionaryService" />
    <property name="runQueryService" ref="RunQueryService" />
    <property name="status" ref="ImagesUploadStatus" />
</bean>

Class

[...]
package myproject.myclass;
[...]
public class ImageStorageService implements IImageStorageService {
private IRunQueryService    runQueryService;
private IObjectService                              objectService;
private IDataDictionaryService                      dataDictionaryService;
private ImagesUploadStatus                          status;

[...]
public File writePdfFile(String idPlico, String userId) throws Exception {
    return writePdfFile(idPlico, userId, false, 0, 0, 0.0, null);
}

@Override
public File writePdfFile(String idFascicolo, String userId, boolean discardBlankPages, int verticalOffset,
        int horizontalOffset, double threshold, IObject fileInfo) throws Exception {
    File pdfFile;
    [...]
    //pdfFile Elaboration
    [...]
    return pdfFile;
    }
    [...]
}

Obviously not a long term solution, but you could just bypass class verification all together by adding -noverify to your command line. You may also want to try doing a clean build.
