I've also tried the latest release (3.2.6) with no more success.
The fact that JBoss throws a FinderException instead of an EJBException to report a system-level failure (DB unavailable) seems to be an implementation mistake with regards to the EJB 2.0 specification chapter 18.2.2.
Anyway, I would have been satisfied if the FinderException thrown in that case had some extra info, like a not null cause (of class SQLException, or NestedSQLException). But the only information is contained in the message of the exception, which is not suitable for making a difference between system failure and application error. Maybe I should report a bug about this ?...
I'd be pleased to have an answer about this.
PS: Some logging from the test case described above
