I am trying out a simple EJB3 application on JBoss-5.0 Beta3, Java 1.5. The application includes a StatelessSessionBean, a few entities and a persistence unit. The application deploys properly and works as per expectations. However, when i shutdown JBoss, i see the following exceptions in the logs: 2008-02-12 12:58:34,208 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.entity.PersistenceUnitDeployment] Stopping persistence unit
