One thing is worth mentioning: the 4.2 allowed the @ApplicationException on SessionEJB, without complaining. It was not sure whether 4.2 just ignored the annoation, or it allows this as a variation of the systax.
JBoss AS 4.2.x was not fully EJB3 spec compliant. So it was a bug.

Further, with @ApplicationException on Exception, 5.1.0 loads the EAR successfully, but is there any independent test to verify that it will behave as it's supposed to? Let me know if you know the resutls or plan to do some test. Thanks.
The spec mandates that the @ApplicationException be applied to an exception class and not the bean class. So it's the expected behaviour.
