I agree with you on this (and I think JBoss behaves properly in case of
finder exceptions), but this wasn't your case, if I've understood it well.
In your case you called fBPK (findByPrimaryKey), which returned "this bean
exists".
Then you called a method on it.
Since Entity EJB are *not* in ready state after a find call, if you have the
finder method return correctly, but you have a problem in ejbActivate or
ejbLoad, then the problem only appears when you call a method on your bean,
because that method call triggers execution of ejbActivate / ejbLoad.
The bean exists in the DB, so fBPK should return "exists". The fact that you
cannot activate the bean instance is somehow unrelated (for example you just
want to know if the bean is there, and you don't want call any method on
it).
