RemoteExceptions and subclasses treated as ApplicationExceptions ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-11548 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11548 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Affects Versions: 13.0.0.Final Environment: - Windows - Wildfly 13 final - Java sdk 1.8 Reporter: Omar Hefnawi Priority: Major Remote Exceptions should be treated as if they are System Exceptions So in very old projects where they used to extend RemoteException for their own exceptions, code was written under the assumption that when one of these is caught in the container, the transaction should be rolled back as per the spec (system exceptions cause a rollback). Currently if an ejb method throws a remote exception, this will be translated to be an Application Exception (on line 275 in EJBComponent.java) and transactions that are currently happening will no longer be rolled back; which was against the old spec, I'm unsure of what ejb 3.X says about this, but currently I felt it would make sense to mimic what happened in older application containers.
