I checked once again the code and I saw that I have cycles in EJB dependencies. @Stateless public class ABean implements ABeanLocal{ @EJB BBeanLocal bBean; .... } @Stateless public class BBean implements BBeanLocal{ @EJB ABeanLocal aBean; .... } I was trying to add  @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.IgnoreDependency but the exception still occurs. I also checked finding a bean by lookup and the effect is the same. in STDOUT looks like bean was initialized but when trying to use it (in my situation - call a method findById) exception is thrown [STDOUT] myBeanLocal: Proxy to jboss.j2ee:ear=my.ear,jar=my.jar,name=MyDependBean,service=EJB3 implementing [interface com.app.ifaces.MyDependBeanLocal] ERROR [CMTTxInterceptor] javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: com.app.MyDependBean not bound I remember that in jboss 4.2.3 when ejb was not bound was treated as a null. Maybe there is some property that I could check to be sure that bean is bound?  Or is there any annotation to force jboss to load beans? Application is quite big and we used jboss 4.2.3 before so maybe I have still some 4.2.3jboss annotation but I assume that when 6.1 jboss does not use it so the old annotations should not be a problem -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/602640#602640] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
