Description

Here is a script returning a Caught: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal field name "class$Person_]" in class PersonServiceImpl

class Person {
@Property String firstName
@Property int id

String toString() {"${firstName} has id ${id}"}
}

class PersonServiceImpl {
private List persons = new ArrayList()

PersonServiceImpl()

{ persons = [ new Person(firstName:"Guillaume", id:1), new Person(firstName:"Jochen", id:2), new Person(firstName:"Dierk", id:3), new Person(firstName:"Graeme", id:4)] }

Person[] getPersons()

{ return persons.toArray(new Person[persons.size()]) }

Person findPerson(int id)

{ return persons[id] }

}

def ps = new PersonServiceImpl()
println ps.findPerson(0)

NOTA1: Removung the Person[] getPersons() {} blocks makes the script working
NOTA2: Replacing the Person[] type by a native type (int for example) makes things going smooth.
