I think that explanation of the fourth option is not precise

EJBException is thrown for local clients when the bean method throws a system exception.

As per 14.3.1 table 15 in specification:
If bean method runs in transaction context of client and that method throws system exception javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException is thrown to the client.

Please clarify it if I'm wrong

This exception is thrown for Remote clients, while the explanation is talking about local clients. http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/jav ... ption.html

Table 15 from section 14.3.1 says that EJBTransactionRolledbackedException is thrown for:

Handling of Exceptions Thrown by a Business Interface Method or No-interface View Method of a
Bean with Container-Managed Transaction Demarcation

when system exception occurs.
I believe that No-Interface View is specific to local clients.

It is really weird because there is a TransactionRolledbackLocalException for that purpose. http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/jav ... ption.html

In either case, you are right. While EJBException is correct (because both extend from EJBException), it is not precise.

thank you for your feedback!

Yeah, it's a litlle bit confusing

The spec says that javax.ejb.TransactionRolledbackLocalException is thrown for (table 17 in 14.3.2)

Handling of Exceptions Thrown by Methods of Web Service Client View or EJB 2.1 Client View of a Bean with Container-Managed Transaction Demarcation

when system exception occurs. So i believe this is EJB2 specific exception for local clients. Link to javadoc you've giben seems to confirm that (it's available since EJB2.0)

For option 4's explanation :

EJBException is thrown for local clients when the bean method throws a system exception.

I think with EJB 3 nowadays , EJBException is thrown for both local and remote client when the bean method throws a system exception unless the remote method throws RemoteException.

With EJB 1.0, EJBException was thrown for local client and RemoteException is thrown for remote client.

That is correct. Explanation has been updated to make it clearer.
