Well my last post actually refers not to your last post, but the one before. What you assume in your last post I thought before and made all the session beans stateful - but that did not help either. It's seems to be that on reentrant calls the annotations are ignored. By introducing another SFSB I made the call non reentrant and now it works! Thanks again!
