Hi all, Just a quick note on a small bug I've stumbled across in Orion 1.0. Implemented a Home interface method: Collection findByDate(...) And implemented the corresponding implementation class method: ArrayList ejbFindByDate(...) I assume this was a mistake on my part by having a different signature on the findBy method in the implementation class than the home interface class, although I haven't checked the spec to see if it should be valid to return a sub-class in the implementation method. Anyway when trying to deploy this bean Orion 1.0 does not flag a compilation error, rather it drops out with the following exception: (which took a while to resolve because there were alot of beans being deployed and I couldn't tell which one was causing the problem).
