David Lloyd created JBEE-157:
--------------------------------
Summary: Improper exception handling in
org.jboss.com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject#narrow()
Key: JBEE-157
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEE-157
Project: JBoss JavaEE Spec APIs
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jboss-rmi-api
Reporter: David Lloyd
Assignee: Shelly McGowan
org.jboss.com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject#narrow() has a {{catch
(Exception error)}} block in it which wraps all exceptions in a {{ClassCastException}}.
However, there should be a second catch block which catches {{RuntimeException}} and
rethrows them verbatim, in order to avoid confusing incorrect error messages.
In particular, you can get a {{ClassCastException}} whose cause is another
{{ClassCastException}}.
Problem found in 1.0.4.Final; no version for this exists in the JIRA schema however.
