Ejb3 deployer does not allow method overriding with Java 1.5 Covariant return types ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-684 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-684 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: EJB 3.0 RC8 - FD Environment: Jboss-4.0.4.GA with ejb3 installed using the installer 'jboss-4.0.4.GA-Patch1-installer.jar' Reporter: Swarn Dhaliwal We have ejb3 entities which use method overiding with java 1.5 covariant return types. The code works correctly in jboss-4.0.4rc1 with ejb3 installed using the installer. However when trying to deploy the same code in the aforementioned version a compilation exception is thrown indicating that there are duplicate methods in the class. The code looks like the following : public abstract class AbstractEntity { protected abstract Object getId(); } public class ConcreteEntity extends AbstractEntity { public String getId() { return id; } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
