Description

When @ApplicationException(rollback = true) is annotated on an exception thrown by a session bean then all is well - the client receives the exception.
But if the annotation is moved up to a superclass of the exception then all is not well - the client receives EJBTransactionRolledbackException.

In the app server I am porting from the following worked OK, and I believe it is the correct behaviour:

public interface DogServiceRemote {
void createDog(Dog dog) throws BusinessException;
}

@ApplicationException(rollback = true)
abstract public class BusinessException extends Exception {
...
}

public class ValueRequiredException extends BusinessException {
...
}

where createDog(...) throws many different subclasses of BusinessException, none of which is annotated with @ApplicationException.
