[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5496) Hibernate proxy class not found in remote EJB call

[Scott Marlow (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5496?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12717975#comment-12717975 ] 

Scott Marlow commented on AS7-5496:
-----------------------------------

Its more than just forwarding the issue.

I asked the Hibernate team on IRC, if they are aware of any issues with Hibernate proxies not being deserializable on a different classloader and they aren't aware of it.

When I have time, I will try to build your test case again.  The first change that I would like to make to your test case, is to not require MySQL (its quicker for me to test with H2).  The test case should just create the entities that are needed and return them from the remote method call.  With that change, I might be able to find time sooner to look at this (no promises when though).

Running AS in a debugger and trying to see why the HibernateProxy.writeReplace() is not doing the expected thing, would be the first thing to check (IMO).  Whether that will help or not, I'm not sure.  

Since you reported this against EAP (not sure if that was a mistake or not), I also added links for getting more timely support for that (EAP issues should be reported directly for quicker resolution).

>             Project: Application Server 7
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: JPA / Hibernate
>    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final
>         Environment: Java 1.6.0_35 and Java 1.7.0_07
> Mac OS X 10.8.1, Windows XP and Gentoo Linux with Kernel 3.5.3

> Prerequisites:
> 1. A JPA entity A with a reference to a different JPA entity B. FetchType is FetchType.LAZY, e.g.
> @Entity
> public class A {
>   @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
>   private B refToB;
> }
> @Entity
> public class B {
> }
> 2. A remote interface with methods passing an instance of A, .e.g.
> @Remote
> public interface ITest {
>     A test1();
>     void test2(A a);
> }
> 3. A process calling test1() and then test2() on the remote interface like this:
>   @EJB(lookup = "...")
>   private ITest iTest;
>   public void ITest() {
>         final A a = iTest.test1();
>         iTest.test2(a);  }
>   }
> Error description: When calling test1() an instance of A is returned. This instance is valid and works as expected. The reference to B is a proxy (something like B_$$_javassist_2), which was expected because B was loaded lazily and was never accessed in the remote process before. When passing the instance of A back by calling test2(a) an exception of this type is raised:
> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: B_$$_javassist_2 from [Module "deployment.x.ear.y_ejb.jar:main" from Service Module Loader]
> 	at org.jboss.modules.ModuleClassLoader.findClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:190)
> 	at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClassUnchecked(Concurrent
> ClassLoader.java:468)
> It looks as if the proxy cannot be serialized or deserialized. The behavior is reproducible with different applications on different platforms. As soon as a Hibernate javassist proxy, which was received via a remote call, is passed back as an argument in another remote call (the remote process is the same in all calls) the exception is raised.
> The classloader settings are the standard JBoss settings.
