Hi Philippe, I'm sorry to have to report another bug in this area, but this has just cropped up... The fact that method signatures are coded into the generated code can result in JVM-version-dependency of the generated code. I.e. this code was generated by GenIC under JDK 1.3.0 Win32: public uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonFacade findByPrimaryKey(uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonPK p1) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, javax.ejb.FinderException { Trace.outln(Trace.DB_15, "JOnASTaxonFacadeHome.findByPrimaryKey(uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.ta xon.TaxonPK)"); JOnASTaxonFacadeRemote ejbobj = null; String methodSignature = "public abstract strictfp uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonFacade uk.org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonFacadeHome.findByPrimaryKey(uk .org.rbgkew.sepasal.ejb.data.taxon.TaxonPK) throws java.rmi.RemoteException,javax.ejb.FinderException" ; RequestCtx rctx = preinvoke(2, methodSignature) ; However, when run under JDK 1.2.2 Solaris, Method.toString() generates "public abstract strict uk.org........... etc" for the above method. I.e. with "strict" rather than "strictfp". Since MethodGuard is loaded up dynamically at runtime using Method.toString(), this means that the MethodGuard will not work if you try to run EJBs that were deployed under 1.3.0 Win32 in a Jonas server running under 1.2.2 Solaris. (Since the methodSignature passed into JEntityHome.preinvoke differs from that loaded into the MethodGuard). This could be fixed this way: a method in Java is uniquely specified by the class, method name, and parameter types. So instead of using Method.toString() you could use a concatenation of the method name and parameter types, both in the generated code, and in the code which loads up MethodGuard at runtime. (You're already concatenating the EJB name so that takes care of the class). Sorry to be a bore but I think this is important! I think it ought to be possible to run under JDK 1.2 EJBs that were deployed under JDK 1.3.
