UndeclaredThrowableException from Container Invoked Callback
I've looked at previous posts dealing with the UndeclaredThrowableException and found one post that seemed similiar to my situation with no response and a few other posts that dealt with an earlier version of JBoss. I am using JBoss 2.2.1 and I've noticed that if an EJBException is thrown from the ejbStore of a bean managed entity bean, then the client receives a java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException instead of a RemoteException. It seems like the EJB Spec specifies that a RemoteException should be received by the client.
In order to define an exception handling scheme for my EJB components and understand how exceptions work with EJBs I tried the following:
A client test program calls a session bean named PartyManager that updates a bean managed entity bean named Party. Within the ejbStore method of the Party entity bean, a SQLException is thrown (because the SQL statement's syntax is incorrect). The SQLException is caught and then an EJBException is thrown. The ejbStore method looks as follows:
public void ejbStore()
{
// Create our database objects
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
try
{
// Create an UPDATE prepared statement
conn = DbUtils.getConnection();
ps = conn.prepareStatement( SQL_UPDATE_QUERY );
ps.setString( 1, this.guid );
ps.setString( 2, this.name );
// Execute the Update
if( ps.executeUpdate() != 1 )
{
throw new EJBException( "ejbStore failed updating party with primary key: " + this.id.longValue() );
}
}
catch( SQLException eSQL )
{
EJBException e = new EJBException( eSQL );
throw e;
}
finally
{
try
{
// Clean up our database objects
if( ps != null ) ps.close();
if( conn != null ) conn.close();
}
catch( SQLException eSQL )
{
eSQL.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The server.log contains the following stacktrace:

When the client gets the exception, the client gets a java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException instead of a RemoteException. I think the client is getting the UndeclaredThrowableException, because the container is throwing a javax.transaction.RollbackException (which extends from Exception) as opposed to the javax.transaction.TransactionRollbackException (which extends from java.rmi.RemoteException). The client's stacktrace is as follows:
java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException: javax.transaction.RollbackException: Unable to commit, tx=XidImpl [FormatId=257, GlobalId=shaines2//3, BranchQual=] status=STATUS_ROLLEDBACK

If I try a different experiment and cause an EJBException within a stateless session bean, then the client DOES receive a RemoteException. Should a RemoteException be received by the client when an EJBException is thrown from a container invoked callback? Is there a problem with JBoss?
Thanks in advance for any help.
