just try to arrange your catch blocks in ejbremotebean in a way that exception belongs to a super class should comes after one of its subclass exception. eg. if there are four exception which u want to catch then either arrange them in proper way or remove all those catch blocks and replace with a single catch block which must be able to catch any kind of exception.
try {
some statements
}catch( ex1 e1) {}
catch( ex2 e2) {}
catch( ex3 e3) {}
catch( ex4 e4) {}
here either there should be no inheritence relationship in ex1 to ex4 classes or if there one exists then arrange them in the catch blocks in a order so subclasses should comes first then their super classes.
i think so.....
