<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I've read this and found a simpler solution / workaround for this problem (without the need of patching). It's simple to integrate the appropriate code taken from EJBTHREE-1889 into the own JNDI lookup. Because of performance reasons this hack of course should be used only for JVM internal remote lookups (which is the case with isolated EAR's).
