If an MXBean needs to reconstruct a type T, and T has a @ConstructorProperties constructor that has an array parameter (e.g. String[]) and a generic parameter (e.g. List<String>) then it is shown as unreconstructible:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.io.InvalidObjectException: @ConstructorProperties gives property array of type class [Ljava.lang.String; for parameter of type java.lang.String[]: public MXBug$T(java.lang.String[],java.util.List)

Here is the test program:

import java.beans.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.management.*;

public class MXBug {
    public interface TMXBean {
public T getT();
    }

    public static class TImpl implements TMXBean {
     private final T t = new T(new String[] {"foo"}, Arrays.asList(new String[] {"bar"}));

        public T getT() {
return t;
}
    }

    public static class T {
private final String[] array;
     private final List<String> list;

@ConstructorProperties({"array", "list"})
public T(String[] array, List<String> list) {
this.array = array;
     this.list = list;
}

public String[] getArray() {
return array;
}

public List<String> getList() {
return list;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
return Arrays.toString(array) + list;
}
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
MBeanServer mbs = MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer();
ObjectName name = new ObjectName("d:k=v");
TImpl t = new TImpl();
mbs.registerMBean(t, name);
TMXBean proxy = JMX.newMXBeanProxy(mbs, name, TMXBean.class);
System.out.println(proxy.getT());
    }
}
