Hi all,

there seems to be some classloader related issues when an Exception is
thrown from a bean in one ejb-jar to a bean that's loaded from another
ejb-jar file within the same VM.

Lets assume that we have the following two ejb-jar files deployed in JBoss:

foo.jar
-------
Foo.class
FooHome.class
FooBean.class
FooException.class
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml    // nothing special here...

goo.jar
-------
Goo.class
GooHome.class
GooBean.class
Foo.class
FooHome.class
FooException.class
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml    // declares an ejb-ref to the Foo EJB
META-INF/jboss.xml      // maps the ejb-ref to the jndi-name


Consider the following scenario:

An operation on a GooBean instance triggers an invocation on the FooBean
which throws a FooException in order to indicate some problem.

Now the GooBean can't catch the FooException as the exception thrown from
the FooBean has bean instantiated by a different CL (the GooBean recevies a
java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException).

Is there any workarounds for this problem or do I have to place both the
FooBean and GooBean classes into the same ejb-jar file in order to get the
scenario outlined above to work.

Regards,
Per
