ClassCastException when retrieving the result of an asynchronous EJB method execution in EAP 6
Issue
We have an EJB in an EAR that uses asynchronous methods and it is consumed by another WAR deployment:
@EJB(lookup="java:global/testejb/testejb-ejb/AsyncService!rh.test.AsyncEJB")
private AsyncEJB asyncEJB;
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
Future<ReturnObject> futro = asyncEJB.testAsync();
ReturnObject ro;
try {
// this line throws the CCE
ro = futro.get();
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
printResponse(resp, e.getMessage());
return;
}
catch (ExecutionException e) {
printResponse(resp, e.getMessage());
return;
}
}
When trying to retrieve the EJB invocation using Future.get, we have ClassCastException error:
JBWEB000236: Servlet.service() for servlet rh.test.AsyncServlet threw exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: rh.test.ReturnObject cannot be cast to rh.test.ReturnObject
