[OWB-741] CODI @ViewScoped + @Stateful in WebSphere v8.5.0.1 = NPE on startup

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Not A Problem
• Affects Version/s: 1.1.6
• Environment: WebSphere v8.5.0.1 + CODI v1.0.5
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

In WebSphere v8.5.0.1 this very simple bean causes the application to not start:

@Named("codiTestConversationCtrl")
@ViewScoped
@Stateful
public class CODITestConversationCtrl implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
...

Theis causes a NPE
If I transform the @SFSB in to a plain POJOs by removing the @Stateful annotation, it works well.
This may be related to this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-738

The result is:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
