I tried upgrading to both 1.2.1 and well as 1.3.0 ALPHA and the same problem is still occurring. I can't help but feel this is some sort of configuration issue I am screwing up but I can't for the life of me figure out what the configuration issue is. My jndi-pattern is set to "#{ejbName}/local" in components.xml. An interesting note is if I change the jndi-pattern to something like "test/#{ejbName}/local" my bottom exception changes from "PocAction not bound" to "test not bound". I don't if this indicates something is wrong w/ my jndi lookup or if this is just a byproduct of whatever the real problem is and the jndi-pattern is irrelevant.
