A classloader maintains a ref to all classes it has defined; the ejb3-connectors-jboss-beans.xml classloader defined that proxy class. But the business interface came from the deployment CL, since classes loaded by the deployment CL are visible to the ejb3-connectors-jboss-beans.xml classloader. The proxy's class has a ref to the business interface class. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4175746#...
