RuntimeException through Stateless SessionBeans causes JNDI lookup crash

Question

Hello,
It seems there is a big problem with the RuntimeException thrown through two Stateless SessionBeans. Here is the code (without the interfaces, that are straight forward) :
public class ProcessorBean { public String process() { throw new RuntimeException("error"); } } /* This is a sub-bean that throws a simple RuntimeException */
public class OtherBean  { public String hello() { return "processed by OtherBean"; } } /* Another sub-bean to test the catch-call (optional) */
public class TestBean
    @EJB
    private ProcessorLocal processor;
    @EJB
    private OtherLocal other;
    public String process()
          String result = null;
          try
              result = processor.process(); //will throws a RuntimeException
          catch(Exception e)
              result = other.hello(); //CRASH !!!! --> afther that processor.process() trhows a RuntimeException, all injections @EJB are down ! There will be a ejb.some_unmapped_exception written in the console.
          return result;
}You will find a little Enterprise project here to see the problem (just use the WebService tester in asadmin)
Note that there is no problem if an Exception that DOES NOT inherit from RuntimeException is thrown.
Maybe someone have an idea how to solve simply that problem ?

What is your exception exactly?
I deploeyd you jar package in JBoss 5.0, and called your facade bean with this code:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import ch.capi.test.RemoteFacadeRemote;
public class MainRemoteEJBCaller {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          Properties env = new Properties();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
          env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
          InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext(env);
          Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("RemoteFacadeBean/remote");
          RemoteFacadeRemote facadeBean = (RemoteFacadeRemote)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,RemoteFacadeRemote.class);
          System.out.println( facadeBean.test("Test") );
          System.out.println( facadeBean.testException("Test") );
}And got not errors. The output is this:
Your input : [Test] / You're saved !
