I am seeing the same issue without dozer with the Payara full version. It does not appear on 5 2020.4. Could be related to #4865 when H2K types are being discarded?

Hi @otukatigayim I was able to reproduce this easily, I have raised an internal issue FISH-743.

[Slartibartfast27]

I also have tons of
java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.InterfaceModelImpl cannot be cast to class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.AnnotationTypeImpl
when deploying my application using docker image payara/server-full:5.2020.5-jdk11.

Can I safely ignore these exceptions or should I better go back to payara/server-full:5.2020.4-jdk11 and hope/wait for a fix in payara/server-full:5.2020.6-jdk11 ?

Same exceptions for me in Payara Micro 5.2020.5, where the deployed project uses Hibernate and MariaDB.

We are also having the same issue on payara enterprise 5.23.0 and JDK 11.

As @Slartibartfast27 mentioned, we are getting tons of ClassCastExceptions:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.InterfaceModelImpl cannot be cast to class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.AnnotationTypeImpl

Hi All,

I will be closing this issue as the solution has been merged and will be included in the next Payara Community and Payara Enterprise releases in January time.

Thank you,
