InitialContext / Comms protocol recovery from a SystemException

[Q Beukes]

Hey,

When I get a SystemException from the container during remote EJB
invocation, all future requests for the InitialContext are "broken". My
exact situation (reason for causing the SystemException) is on my fault, but
if there is another reason I think it's good to recover from it so to be
able to continue serving requests. I got the following by invoking on a
method which isn't in the remote EJB class/Remote interface.

This is what I got:

Haven't seen this before, looks like the null is coming from the  
GeronimoSecurityService.

We test system and application exceptions in the itests for each bean  
type on both the remote and local servers as well as on Tomcat.  We  
don't run those on Geronimo though, which we really should. There was  
some code in Geronimo to do that at one point, but it got axed as  
being too hard to maintain quite a while ago.  I think we should bring  
it back.

I'm not sure what it might take Geronimo plan-wise, but here's the app:

   http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/openejb/openejb-itests-beans/3.1.2/openejb-itests-beans-3.1.2.jar

And the client which includes all deps and is an executable jar:

   http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/openejb/openejb-itests-standalone-client/3.1.2/openejb-itests-standalone-client-3.1.2.jar
