Hi All, I was having a test project that worked well in CXF 2.7.11 in jdk1.7
In this project, I have a parameterized method in an interface SomeService<T> as: void doSomething(List<T> objects) There is another interface called SpecialService which extends SomeService as SomeService<Foo> and has no other methods. The implementation of SpecialService was a SpecialServiceImpl class that I had annotated with @Path and @GET to make it JAX-RS ready. After upgrading to jdk8, I randomly get an error like: [utils.InjectionUtils.reportServerError():478 ERROR]: Parameter Class java.util.List has no constructor with single String parameter, static valueOf(String) or fromString(String) methods Debugging it several times over leads me to believe that the bridge methods coming from SomeService interface are causing problems. Empirically it seems that this problem only comes when the listing in getMethods() call returns the bridge method before the non-bridge method. Looking through jdk compatibility notes, it looks like the order of methods can actually vary from invocation to invocation http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/compatibility-417013.html *Area:* HotSpot *Synopsis:* Order of Methods returned by Class.get Methods can Vary >From my cursory analysis of the code in JAXRSUtils, it seems that the first ORI that matches the types is chosen and if it so happens that the ori corresponds to the bridge method, it is not able to get the exact type information of T and proceeeds to call a java.util.List constructor with a single string constructor. Ofcourse, I could be completely wrong and wanted to see if anyone else also has experienced something similar. Thanks in advance!
