I've reproduced the bug. It is caused because the method is actually defined in a non-public class in another package: the public class org.springframework.ejb.support.AbstractStatelessSessionBean extends the non-public class org.springframework.ejb.support.AbstractSessionBean. IMHO this is kind of weird on Spring's part, but nonetheless it has exposed a bug in FastClass, which is calling invokevirtual on the ancestor class instead of the derived class. The workaround, as you have discovered, is to redefine the method in the derived class, even if it is just to call super.ejbRemove(). Some other parts of CVS HEAD are in transition now (the MethodInterceptor startup optimizations) so even after I fix this bug you'll have to wait a little while. I'll let you know when there is a new version to test. Thanks, Chris
