  *                  in conjunction with Enteprise Java Beans    *

  ****************************************************************
  When an EJB method is called via a reference obtained with
  @Inject, and the EJB throws an exception, the original exception
  is wrapped in an InvocationTargetException.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CDI container in WebSphere Application Server was updated to
  return the underlying EJB business method exception.
