I do not understand this error.

Thanks for the PR. Please note: https://tomee.apache.org/tomee-8.0-eol.html

The branch uses an EOL GitHub Action version. For that reason the build fails right now.

https://tomee.apache.org/tomee-8.0-eol.html says 'bugs affecting only the tomee-8.x branch will not be addressed' , I am not sure if the issue is only for 8.x as I have been using only this version

Yes, it is very likely that this is also present in newer TomEE versions, as the class itself did not change apart from the javax → jakarta migration. What I meant with the eol notice is that it’s unlikely we’ll do another TomEE 8 release. However, since the issue appears to affect newer TomEE versions as well, we can address it there.

Could we add a unit test to verify the change and reproduce the issue in the first place? From what I can see in the Jira ticket, reproduction code was already provided, so it should be possible to turn that into a unit test.

provided

managed to add a unit test case, hope that helps, this test should fail now without the fix...
