EJB3: Exception handling in client code

[Morten Franorge]

Since the client has a reference to an instance of a business interface and not a remote interface how will the client be able to handle exceptions that may occur when working with remoting? (Given that the business interface only throws application exceptions)

[Jeroen T Wenting]

The client will get the application exception wrapped in another exception.

Clients reference business interfaces, but underneath they still need to be generated impl classes that the Container can throw runtime exceptions from. An EJBException will wrap a RemoteException if one gets thrown from the RMI layer, you just aren't forced to catch it anymore. This is nice because most of the time you can't do anything reasonable with it in any case.
