Note that the reason we've been arguing is that this bug had absolutely nothing to do with SFSB timeouts and EJBNoSuchObjectExceptions. There is actually a bug in the EJB3 container that was swallowing runtime exceptions and rethrowing them as bogus EJBNoSuchObjectExceptions. It took me a while to track down the problem because of that. http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-800 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3990782#...
