[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBMDR-73) "No original methods found" error when deploying EJBs that extend base classes

"No original methods found" error when deploying EJBs that extend base classes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBMDR-73 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMDR-73 Project: JBoss MetaData Repository Issue Type: Bug Components: Loader, MetaData Reporter: Richard Kennard Assignee: Ales Justin Priority: Critical Attachments: JBAS-8780.patch, JBMDR-73.ear, JBMDR-73.patch, JBMDR-73.zip, jboss-mdr.jar, jboss-mdr.jar An error, new to JBoss 6 (works okay in JBoss 5.1.0)... "java.lang.IllegalStateException: No original methods found" ...halts deployment when you try to deploy an EJB that subclasses a base class with public methods. For example, if you have a base class 'PersistentEntityBean' that has a bunch of methods related to loading/saving/deleting, and then you extend that base class with 'EventBean' simply to override loading/saving (but without adding any extra methods), it will fail to deploy. A workaround (from the forum) appears to be to override *every* subclassed method and just call 'super'. However this error even occurs for public final methods, which clearly cannot be overridden.
