[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - MDB abstract base class and EJB3 annotations

I have following scenario where my MDB class extends an abstract class which implements the MessageListener interface. public abstract class MDBBase implements MessageListener { | public void onMessage(Message message) { | .... | processJob(some-params) | } | public abstract void processJob (some-params); | } | | public class MyMDB extends MDBBase { | public abstract void processJob (some-params) { | | } | } I use following EJB3 annotations in MyMDB class @TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN) | @SecurityDomain("myapp") | @RunAs ("Internal") The question is does the abstract base class also need these annotations? What I am see'ing is that without @RunAs ("Internal") on the abstract base class, jboss gives insufficient permissions exception because the message queue requires role "Internal". Is this a bug or working as designed? I was expecting that I wouldn't have to annotate the abstract base class. What about the other annotations @SecurityDomain and @TransactionManagement?
