Hi there,

I have a problem with some entities that I'm deploying in JBoss...I've added a post to the relevant forum for JBoss but since the problem seems to be a Javassist one I thought someone here might be able to explain what causes this problem..so:

I have some related entities that cause this error:

Can anyone give me an idea what is causing this error i.e. from a Javassist point of view? I'm guessing it's some sort of method definition conflict. Any suggestions welcomed =).

P.S. if this question is inappropriate for this forum let me know.

Many thanks,

Matthew
