So I'm still seeing a problem using AS trunk and Seam trunk (both as of yesterday). Steps to reproduce: 1) Run seam-booking and book a hotel. 2) Undeploy seam-booking. You will see this stack trace: | 08:25:16,795 WARN [Component] Exception calling stateful session bean default @ | Remove method: hotelSearch | org.jboss.ejb3.common.registrar.spi.NotBoundException:
