java.net.URL serialization issues in Payara 5

[Bogdan Popa]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to deploy a project on Payara 5.1.182, JDK 1.8.172 . The project was working fine in Glassfish 4, JDK 1.8.40, but we just noticed there is an issue with (de)serialization of the URL properties from EJBs.

This project has multiple EJBs and WARs  packed in an EAR. 

The error I get is this : 

[2018-07-18T10:20:20.662+0000] [Payara 5.182] [SEVERE] [] [ch.poken.api] [tid: _ThreadID=34 _ThreadName=http-thread-pool::http-listener-1(6)] [timeMillis: 1531909220662] [levelValue: 1000] [[

One work around was to change the URLs to strings and that works but I was wondering if you have any idea of a better solution! 

One more thing, if I deploy the EJBs and the WARs from Eclipse, the issue is gone. 

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Were you able to resolve this?

Can you please let us know how do you deploy your application? How is it different to deploying from Eclipse IDE, whcih you said works without issues?
