Hello all,

Have a problem I've been struggling with for awhile now.

I have a EJB with a finder method that is supposed to return a "single" argument in my remote home:

public BusinessBeanRemote findByKey (String bizToken, PrimaryKey pk) throws FinderException, RemoteException;


But when I call this method, it goes to the "findEntities" method in JBoss and tries to return to me a collection.

As a temporary workaround, i have another finder that recieves that collection and extracts the element but I would like to fix this.

So, my question is why am I dropping to a finder call that returns a collection as opposed to a single object?

Any help on this would be appreciated...thanks.

Here is the error returns without the hack...
