Reproducer project is an EAR, containing an EJB and a Servlet as EJB client.
To rebuild: under "simple-ejb-ear" directory, do "mvn clean package"
To test:
1) Start up an out-of-box (all default setting) EAP 7.0.9 or 7.1.4, add admin user
2) In EAP web management console (http://localhost:9990), select "simple-ejb-ear/simple-ejb-ear-ear/target/simple-ejb-ear-ear.ear" to deploy
3) Open a browser and hit "http://localhost:8080/simple-ejb-ear-web/"
I put 3 similar fields in CacheableObject.java for testing, the default constructor of the POJO initializes them as below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
public CacheableObject()
{
this._mutable_one = true;
this._mutable_two = false;
this._mutable_three = true;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
On client side: I create this object and set "_mutable_three" to false manually, so I sent "true, false, false" into EJB call.
On server side: I print these values on receiving the call.
On EAP 7.0.9:
Client send: "true, false, false"
Server received: "true, false, true"
Conclusion-1: default constructor of CacheableObject class is called on both EJB client and EJB server side - correct behavior
Conclusion-2: the value of transient field "_mutable_three" is not kept through the EJB call - correct behavior
On EAP 7.1.4:
Client send: "true, false, false"
Server received: "false, false, false"
Conclusion: default constructor of CacheableObject class is called on EJB client side, BUT NOT called on EJB server side - incorrect behavior
