Andrew, I tested this with jboss-metadata 1.0.0.Beta36. My test cases which work on Remote beans are failing. The ones working with Local beans pass. Here's the exception, i see for all my remote bean test cases: | testRemoteBindingForSlsb(org.jboss.ejb3.test.proxy.binding.unit.JNDIBindingTestCase) Time elapsed: 1.016 sec <<< ERROR! | javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create the EJB3 Business Proxy implementing "org.jboss.ejb3.test.proxy.common.ejb.slsb.MyStatelessRemote" for MyStatelessBeanWithBindings] | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getObjectInstanceWrapFailure(NamingContext.java:1337) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:765) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:629) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) | at org.jboss.ejb3.test.proxy.binding.unit.JNDIBindingTestCase.testRemoteBindingForSlsb(JNDIBindingTestCase.java:184) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) | at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethod.invoke(TestMethod.java:59) | at org.junit.internal.runners.MethodRoadie.runTestMethod(MethodRoadie.java:98) | at org.junit.internal.runners.MethodRoadie$2.run(MethodRoadie.java:79) | at org.junit.internal.runners.MethodRoadie.runBeforesThenTestThenAfters(MethodRoadie.java:87) | at org.junit.internal.runners.MethodRoadie.runTest(MethodRoadie.java:77) | at org.junit.internal.runners.MethodRoadie.run(MethodRoadie.java:42) | at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner.invokeTestMethod(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:88) | at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner.runMethods(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:51) | at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner$1.run(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:44) | at org.junit.internal.runners.ClassRoadie.runUnprotected(ClassRoadie.java:27) | at org.junit.internal.runners.ClassRoadie.runProtected(ClassRoadie.java:37) | at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner.run(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:42) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.junit4.JUnit4TestSet.execute(JUnit4TestSet.java:62) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.suite.AbstractDirectoryTestSuite.executeTestSet(AbstractDirectoryTestSuite.java:140) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.suite.AbstractDirectoryTestSuite.execute(AbstractDirectoryTestSuite.java:165) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.Surefire.run(Surefire.java:107) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooter.runSuitesInProcess(SurefireBooter.java:289) | at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooter.main(SurefireBooter.java:993) | Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not create the EJB3 Business Proxy implementing "org.jboss.ejb3.test.proxy.common.ejb.slsb.MyStatelessRemote" for MyStatelessBeanWithBindings | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.factory.session.SessionProxyFactoryBase.createProxyBusiness(SessionProxyFactoryBase.java:235) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.objectfactory.session.SessionProxyObjectFactory.createProxy(SessionProxyObjectFactory.java:129) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.objectfactory.session.stateless.StatelessSessionProxyObjectFactory.getProxy(StatelessSessionProxyObjectFactory.java:79) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.objectfactory.ProxyObjectFactory.getObjectInstance(ProxyObjectFactory.java:161) | at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getObjectInstance(NamingManager.java:304) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getObjectInstance(NamingContext.java:1312) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getObjectInstanceWrapFailure(NamingContext.java:1329) | ... 30 more | 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 org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.factory.session.stateless.StatelessSessionRemoteProxyFactory.createInvocationHandler(StatelessSessionRemoteProxyFactory.java:147) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.factory.session.SessionProxyFactoryBase.createProxyBusiness(SessionProxyFactoryBase.java:227) | ... 36 more And this exception happens when i lookup the bean using the remote jndi name: | | @Test | public void testRemoteBindingForSlsb() throws Throwable | { | // create the bean | this.sessionContainer = Utils.createSlsb(MyStatelessBeanWithBindings.class);

| | } Looks like there's some change related to EJBTHREE-1345 as part of which now atleast one interceptor is mandatory for remote beans? Let me know, if you want me to update the JIRA (EJBTHREE-1423) with this updated test case. Actually, there hasn't been much changes in these test cases. A couple of related questions: 1) What exactly are these client interceptors that is being checked for? 2) Why do we mandate these interceptors only for remote proxy and not for local proxy?
