Error description

After starting an application with an EJB, the client sees the
following error in the log:
[2/18/11 13:52:07:625 IST] 00000023 EJBContainerI E
WSVR0068E: Attempt to start EnterpriseBean
test#testejb.jar#TestBean failed with exception:
com.ibm.ejs.container.EJBConfigurationException: Failure
occured while attempting to find the target of a bridge method
for the TestBean enterprise bean in the testejb.jar module.
The java compiler generates a synthetic bridge method in the
enterprise bean class for the generic public abstract void
com.ibm.example.TestSuperClass.test(T) method of inteface
com.ibm.example.TestIntf
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The
implementation class did not contain bridge method: public void
com.ibm.example.TestBean.test(java.lang.Object). Perhaps
class file is not the result of javac from JDK 5 or  later.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EJBConfigurationException is thrown     *
*                      for missing bridge methods when         *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The metadata processing code that locates target methods of
synthetic bridge methods when using generics did not look for
target methods in bean superclasses.

Problem conclusion

The metadata processing code has been updated to look for
target methods in bean superclasses.
