Hi Antoine,
I have the same error here. it is a bug. Unfortunately, it seems that typed
collections based on interface doesn't work well.
There is a workaround. in the class EntityA, use the following setting for
the list :
@Collection(elementClassName=MyInterface.class)
List<MyInterface> entityB;
elementClassName is used only for untyped collections but you can use it for
typed collections. I will create a patch to avoid this redundant setting
and add a new unit test.
FYI, you have to add also the annotation @Node on the interface otherwise it
will be ignored by the OCM.
Thanks,
Christophe
