A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When accessing FlightRecorderMXBean#getRecordings() through an MBeanServerConnection there will be a ClassCastException when creating the RecordingInfo objects:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Long cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer

The reason is that the constructor in RecordingInfo tries to cast the "id" from the CompositeData, which is a java.lang.Long into an int.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Execute this method with a valid JMX Service URL:

public static List<RecordingInfo> getRecordingInfos(String jmxServiceUrl) throws Exception {
    JMXConnector jmxConnector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(new JMXServiceURL(jmxServiceUrl));
    MBeanServerConnection mBeanServerConnection = jmxConnector.getMBeanServerConnection();

    ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName("jdk.management.jfr:type=FlightRecorder");
    FlightRecorderMXBean flightRecorder = JMX.newMXBeanProxy(mBeanServerConnection, objectName, FlightRecorderMXBean.class);

    return flightRecorder.getRecordings();
  }

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The above method should return a list of RecordingInfo.
ACTUAL -
