Wildfly 10.0.0.Final: Session bean’s business interface cannot be passed as return value to remote clients.
Reproduction:
Call the createEJBTestBean() method of the bean implementation below from a remote client. Then try to invoke any business method on the returned business interface. This results in a
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: EJBCLIENT000025: No EJB receiver available for handling ..." exception.
{code:java}
@Stateless
@RemoteHome(EJBFactoryTestHome.class)
public class EJBFactoryTestBean implements SessionBean, EJBFactoryTestBI
{
@Override
public EJBTest createEJBTestBean()
{
| | try |
| | { |
| | EJBTestHome home = (EJBTestHome) new InitialContext().lookup("..."); |
| | return home.create(); |
| | } |
| | catch(RemoteException | CreateException | NamingException e) |
| | { |
| | throw new RuntimeException(e); |
| | } |
}

Note 1: Citation from ejb-3_2-core-fr-spec section 3.4.3 second sentence: "A reference to a session bean’s business interface may be passed as a parameter or return value of a business interface method."
Note 2: We are working on porting our EJB application to Wildfly 10.0.0 Final. Large parts of the application still use the old fashioned Home-Remote style beans. I don't expect using POJO/POJI-beans would have any impact on the problem. Anyway it would remain a bug even if it occurred with old style beans only.
