I don't know the answer but I understand that if we use the noop
wrappers we're safe anyway, aren't we?

BTW is Reflection used anywhere else but in the wrapper generation
(if it's proxy wrapper generator) and in overcoming the shortage
of Exception.getCause() in the loggers?

IMO the greatest next showstopper for such managed environment as
EJB is that we won't be allowed to launch our own threads, isn't
_that_ the biggest issue (given we're okay with no-op wrappers
and that our JDK is 1.4 and it does have Exception.getCause() ) ?

It sounds like being plainly broken!
