Craig Russell updated OPENJPA-251:
----------------------------------

    Affects Version/s:     (was: 1.0.0)
                       0.9.7
        Fix Version/s: 1.0.0

Thanks for the info, Jonathan. Seems like a good analysis and an easy fix.

Would you be able to provide a patch, and run the build script to verify it 
doesn't break anything?

> Given 
> public interface A { Object getId(); }
> @Entity
> public class B implements A { 
>     @Id
>     public String getId() { return "foo"; } 
> }
> B.class.getDeclaredMethods() will include both "public java.lang.String 
> B.getId()" and "public java.lang.Object B.getId()". The order in which these 
> two methods appear is NOT DEFINED! Because 
> org.apache.openjpa.enhance.Reflection.getDeclaredMethod()  returns the first 
> matching method, and because that method might well be the abstract one 
> retuning Object, OpenJPA will complain that it cannot persist an ID with a 
> non-explicit strategy, and throw up.
> Class.getDeclaredMethod() (note singular, not plural) is defined to return 
> the method with the most specific return type under these circumstances, and 
> should therefore be used. Here's my implementation of 
> Reflection.getDeclaredMethod:
>       private static Method getDeclaredMethod(Class cls, String name, Class 
> param)
>       {
>               Class[] params = param == null ? new Class[0] : new Class[] { 
> param };
>               try
>               {
>                       return cls.getDeclaredMethod(name, params);
>               }
>               catch (Exception e)
>               {
>                       return null;
>               }
>       }
