EJB no-interface view, non-public method behaviour -------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-9425 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-9425 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Affects Versions: 10.1.0.Final, 11.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Matej Novotny Priority: Minor First of all, I am not sure whether this is bug or a feature. This is based on a [SO question|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46602452] - {{@Stateless}} no-interface view bean with non-public method. You inject this bean into other bean (using CDI) and try to invoke that non-public method. According to EJB spec, this should throw {{EJBException}} (chapter _Session Bean’s No-Interface View_): bq. Only public methods of the bean class and of any superclasses except java.lang.Object may be invoked through the no-interface view. Attempted invocations of methods with any other access modifiers via the no-interface view reference must result in the javax.ejb.EJBException. I put together a [Weld test|https://github.com/manovotn/core/commit/e5fca57be714267154c71b442a99...] for this - feel free to browse the code. When invoked in Weld, this *does not throw {{EJBException}}* but in fact fails on {{IllegalAccess}} when an attempt is made to access that method. Note that in Weld code, we are explicitly handling these EJB invocations [using a method which does not override accessibility rules|https://github.com/weld/core/blob/2.3/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/...] and I suppose it's there for a reason.
