catch the exception,
throw a new exception, subclass of RuntimeException
(set the cause of the new exception to be the old exception)

[Roger Chung-Wee]

As javax.ejb.EJBException is a subclass of RuntimeException, the EJB container will automatically rollback the transaction if you are using container-managed transactions.

You may decide that you do not want this to happen, so you just need to encapsulate EJBException in an instance of Exception or a subclass of it (but not RuntimeException) and throw that exception. The EJB container will not automatically rollback the transaction, so you will have to invoke setRollbackOnly() if you want a rollback.

what about in case of RemoteException which is thrown by remote and well as local beans.

[Roger Chung-Wee]

What you say is not correct. The EJB container throws RemoteException
to a remote client or EJBException to a local client.
