I just checked current HEAD of SVN; Proxy is still on Beta35: $ mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jboss.metadata |grep metadata | [INFO] \- org.jboss.metadata:jboss-metadata:jar:1.0.0.Beta35:compile So I've just bumped the parent to the latest EJB3 Build SNAPSHOT, which will bring in Beta36.

Here's the exception, i see for all my remote bean test cases: | Caused by: java.lang.AssertionError: Could not find Advice Stack with name: StatelessSessionClientInterceptors | | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.factory.ProxyFactoryBase.getInterceptors(ProxyFactoryBase.java:185) | | at | | Looks like there's some change related to EJBTHREE-1345 as part of which now atleast one interceptor is mandatory for remote beans? The error you're seeing is because the interceptors themselves are declared in a configured interceptor stack, which is required. @see ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml (either in EJB3 Core src/main/resources or EJB3 Proxy src/test/resources). Problem is that you need for your test to load up these definitions; this is what I'd meant by "Add to setupBeforeClass the boilerplate for deploying *-aop.xml, example in JndiSessionRegistrarTestCaseBase (else tests will fail)". :) "jaikiran" wrote : 1) What exactly are these client interceptors that is being checked for? Stack, stack. :) In the case of the EJB3 Proxy Unit Tests, just the InvokeRemoteInterceptor. In EJB3 Core, they handle Client>Server Tx Propagation, bypassing the network stack on a @Remote invocation that takes place locally, propagation of security contexts, etc. "jaikiran" wrote : 2) Why do we mandate these interceptors only for remote proxy and not for local proxy? Locally we just don't *need* to do that much; all is executed within the same JVM and Thread; see ProxyInvocationHandlerbase.getContainerLocally().
