exceptions on ejb invocations using rmi over http

[csa]

Hi everybody,

I'm making calls to an ejb from a remote client using rmi over http.

I'm using the
org.jboss.remoting.transport.servlet.web.ServerInvokerServlet and the @RemoteBinding annotation for the ejb to establish this.

It works fine so far. But if an exception gets thrown in the ejb I will only get an exception of type org.jboss.remoting.transport.http.WebServerError on the client.

Is there a way to access the originally thrown exception on the client? Are there other ways to access ejbs over http without using webservices?

thanks

Please see section "5.4.13. Exception handling for web based clients" of the Remoting documentation.

The Remoting HTTP transport has, in effect, a standalone web server on the server side. It borrows some code from Tomcat, but it doesn't need a running instance of Tomcat. Please see section "5.4.8. HTTP Invoker" for more information.
