Spring-3.0.5和Hibernate-3.3集成过程中出现此异常：
其中：java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javassist.util.proxy.MethodFilter
是因为缺少javassist.jar
引入之后，问题解决。

资源介绍：
Javassist是一个开源的分析、编辑和创建Java字节码的类库。它已加入了开放源代码JBoss 应用服务器项目,通过使用Javassist对字节码操作为JBoss实现动态AOP框架。
关于java字节码的处理，目前有很多工具，如bcel，asm。不过这些都需要直接跟虚拟机指令打交道。如果你不想了解虚拟机指令，可以采用javassist。javassist是jboss的一个子项目，其主要的优点，在于简单，而且快速。直接使用java编码的形式，而不需要了解虚拟机指令，就能动态改变类的结构，或者动态生成类。
