Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our application from Jboss 4.0.3 to Jboss 4.0.5.GA and have been experiencing some issues with it. We have lots of mbeans defined in our system, but during the upgrade we are seeing lot of exceptions on accessing the mbeans that have the XDOCLET tag @jmx.managed-attribute. There are no changes to the code except the Jboss upgrade, I am wondering if somebody can help me understand the reason why this is happening. I am seeing MethodNotDefine, IllegalArgument exception (Standard Reflection exception when you invoke a method). The most wierd thing is when i changed the XDOCLET tag to @jmx.managed-operation impact = "INFO" everything works fine on the new Jboss server. Since there is a lot of core code, i am really reluctant to change.

Regards

Pawan Kharbanda
