Validator.validateBean doesn't handle @Typed properly ----------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-933 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-933 Project: Weld Issue Type: Bug Components: Bootstrap and Metamodel API, Proxies Affects Versions: 1.1.0.CR3 Environment: JBoss 6.0.0.Final Reporter: Mike Mosiewicz Here is the problem. I've got @Typed class becouse I wanted to limit the set of proxies generated by weld becouse it's ancestors would not be proxyable. That's why I tried @Typed. And halfway it works. But just halfway. The problem I notice is here in Validator (lines 142-145) if (normalScoped && !Beans.isBeanProxyable(bean)) { throw Proxies.getUnproxyableTypesException(bean.getTypes()); } My @Typed class which is annotated like this: @Named("catalogEntityHome") @ConversationScoped @Typed(CatalogEntityHome.class) public class CatalogEntityHome extends BasicDAO<CatalogEntity, ObjectId> implements Serializable { .. The problem I observe is that Beans.isBeanProxyable checks Proxies.getUnproxyableTypesException(bean) which somehow produces non-null result. However a moment later it checks Proxies.getUnprox....(bean.getTypes()), which turns to be null. And that's what it tries to throw, like here: 09:32:58,035 ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=vfs:///C:/servers/jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/default/deploy/test.war_WeldBootstrapBean state=Create: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateBean(Validator.java:144) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateRIBean(Validator.java:162) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateBeans(Validator.java:377) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.Validator.validateDeployment(Validator.java:363) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.WeldBootstrap.validateBeans(WeldBootstrap.java:388) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.integration.deployer.env.helpers.BootstrapBean.boot(BootstrapBean.java:92) [:6.0.0.Final] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
