• JDK version: 21
• OS: MacOS
• Docker version (if applicable): Not Applicable

Problem Description

All the methods in sample below should be retried. However, only methods which have retryOn={Throwable.class} and retryOn={Exception.class} will be retried.

// this method will be retried in 4.x
@Asynchronous
@Retry(delay = 200, retryOn = {Throwable.class})
public CompletableFuture<String> willBeRetriedOnThrowable() {
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "will be retried when retryOn={Throwable.class}");
    return CompletableFuture.failedFuture(new CustomRuntimeException());
}

// this method will be retried in 4.x
@Asynchronous
@Retry(delay = 200, retryOn = {Exception.class})
public CompletableFuture<String> willBeRetriedOnException() {
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "will be retried when retryOn={Exception.class}");
    return CompletableFuture.failedFuture(new CustomRuntimeException());
}

// this method won't be retried in 4.x
@Asynchronous
@Retry(delay = 200, retryOn = {RuntimeException.class})
public CompletableFuture<String> wontBeRetriedOnRuntimeException() {
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "won't be retried when retryOn={RuntimeException.class}");
    return CompletableFuture.failedFuture(new CustomRuntimeException());
}

// this method won't be retried in 4.x
@Asynchronous
@Retry(delay = 200, retryOn = {CustomRuntimeException.class})
public CompletableFuture<String> wontBeRetriedOnActualException() {
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "won't be retried when retryOn={CustomRuntimeException.class}");
    return CompletableFuture.failedFuture(new CustomRuntimeException());
}

Steps to reproduce

• Download attached maven project, unzip and open in IDE
• Run org.example.Main.java
• Application log will verify some methods are not retried

OR

• Download attached maven project, unzip and build it with mvn clean package command
• Then run application with java -jar <jar-location> command
• Application log will verify some methods are not retried
