I have the new metadata wired to the old model and this is flowing through to the client injection handlers, and I see the container being passed to the kernel to be started, but its not starting. It seems the dependencies are not being statisifed, but I don't see any error being generated. Because the client container is not being started the remote client is not seeing its enc and fails. Don't know if how the Ejb3ClientDeployer is registering the bean is bypassing the completion check. I'll look at it tomorrow.
