Thanks Gavin. Just checked out the latest CVS head and that solves the problem completely. Thanks to superflav for posting the testcase, too. I wasn't using @EJB annotation but did do a jndi lookup for a different bean, which is the same thing according to the JIRA issue. Sorry I didn't spot the jira bug before. The beta's looking pretty good so far, looking forward to seeing the final release! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985733#...
