Thomas,
You said that you shouldn't be able to catch EJBException in the client,
but in my case I have a session bean in one container throwing an
EJBException and a session bean in another container (the caller)
catching that EJBException. Is there anything wrong with that? My
understanding was that this is how you're supposed to handle exceptions
between EJB's.
Why shouldn't a client (whether it's a bean inside a container or a client
outside the container) be able to catch an EJBException? Certainly using
RemoteException to encapsulate any kind of exception is not the way to do
it in EJB 1.1?
Thanks,
Todd
