Hi,

Yesterday I moved to JBoss 3.2.8 from 3.2.7 and my application gives an exception when trying to call an EJB method inside a Stateless Session bean. This bean uses a standard java class and from that I call the relevant entity bean method. This works fine in JBoss versions 3.2.3 through 3.2.7 but fails in 3.2.8. The stack trace follows :

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong because this same code is working fine in JBoss 3.2.7

Thanks,
