EJBException in ejbStore() doesn't reach client

Question

Oracle 8.1.7
Entity Bean (Bean managed persistence)
Transaction Attrib : Required
I am trying to get any SQLException thrown in ejbStore() to be thrown to the client wrapped in an EJBException and somehow this doesnt happen. My ejbStore() method tries to execute an update statement, but if the update fails for some reason then I need the exception thrown back to the client.
Sample piece of code:
public void ejbStore() throws EJBException {
try {
conn = getConnection();
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement("...");
stmt.setString(1, ...);
int a = stmt.executeUpdate();
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new EJBException(e.getMessage());
Is there something wrong with this approach or a am I missing something ???
Thanks in advance for any help.

Can anyone give me the slightest of hints?
