I am seeing the same issue without dozer with the Payara full version. It does not appear on 5 2020.4. Could be related to https://github.com/payara/Payara/pull/4865 when H2K types are being discarded?

Hi @otukatigayim I was able to reproduce this easily, I have raised an internal issue FISH-743.

I also have tons of
java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.InterfaceModelImpl cannot be cast to class org.glassfish.hk2.classmodel.reflect.impl.AnnotationTypeImpl
when deploying my application using docker image payara/server-full:5.2020.5-jdk11.

Can I safely ignore these exceptions or should I better go back to payara/server-full:5.2020.4-jdk11 and hope/wait for a fix in payara/server-full:5.2020.6-jdk11 ?

Same exceptions for me in Payara Micro 5.2020.5, where the deployed project uses Hibernate and MariaDB.
