>>Was the initial problem you just using SessionImpl directly? Yes, that was the problem, so probably there are no JDK's handling it differently.

Or is it a problem of particular JDK handling the covariant return differently? In the latter case we'd need to change the code. In the former, its a discussion. As for why byId is that way, TBH being new to being able to design APIs with Java 5+ features I tend to try things to see how they work.
