ClassCastException in ParameterizedTypeImpl

[ebu]

Hi.
I got

java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.ParameterizedTypeImpl

when trying to deploy the bean

package test.ejb3.beans;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import javax.persistence.AccessType;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratorType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity(access=AccessType.FIELD)
public class Entity1<T extends Entity1> implements Serializable{

 @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
 @Target(ElementType.FIELD)
 public @interface Anno {
 Class<? extends Intf> value();
 }

 @Anno(Inner.class)
 private String name;

 public interface Intf {

 }

 public class Inner implements Intf{

 }

 public static void main(String[] args) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException {
 Entity1.class.getDeclaredField("name").getAnnotation(Anno.class);
 System.out.println("Ok");
 }

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -8975907644508940951L;

 @Id(generate = GeneratorType.AUTO)
 private int id;

}

The exception disappears if type variable T is removed. Any ideas why this happens?

wbe, eugen.

Sorry, it is fixed by making Inner clas to be

...Inner<T extends Entity1>...
