             Summary: Improper exception handling in org.jboss.com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject#narrow()
                 Key: JBEE-157
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEE-157
             Project: JBoss JavaEE Spec APIs
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jboss-rmi-api
            Reporter: David Lloyd
            Assignee: Shelly McGowan


org.jboss.com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject#narrow() has a {{catch (Exception error)}} block in it which wraps all exceptions in a {{ClassCastException}}.  However, there should be a second catch block which catches {{RuntimeException}} and rethrows them verbatim, in order to avoid confusing incorrect error messages.

In particular, you can get a {{ClassCastException}} whose cause is another {{ClassCastException}}.

Problem found in 1.0.4.Final; no version for this exists in the JIRA schema however.
