I am stumbling upon a problem during activation of passivated stateful session beans, and I had no success searching the forums for this...

These beans have other stateful session beans stored as (public, for serialzations sake) member variables. But I think this is not a problem, or is it?

Anyhow, I receive the following error from jBoss:
[pre]ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.SecurityInterceptor] No method permissions assigned to method=getEJBObject, interface=HOME[/pre]
Normally, I look this up in my assembly descriptor and adjust the rights there, in this case, however, there is no method "getEJBObject" anywhere.

It must get called internally by jBoss somehow, but why are there permissions missing, then?

Any ideas? - Or can anyone explain to me what exactly the trace below means?

appending a snippet from the jBoss Trace:
