Why NoSuchEJBException is thrown in Wildfly between subsequent calls?

Question

Running wildfly 8.1.Final after obtaining a NullPointerException in bean annotated with @Singleton in a next invocation I receive javax.ejb.NoSuchEJBException with following log:

javax.ejb.NoSuchEJBException: JBAS014300: Could not find EJB with id {[-127, 119, 43, -88, -83, -123, 67, 109, -77, 112, 107, -30, -42, -101, 114, -111]}

I read that one of possible reason may be using @Remove annotation but I don't use it. Does anyone have any idea why it's happening?

    }
}

The problem is that only first time when onMessage is executed NPE is thrown. On subsequent calls I got NoSuchEJBException and I would really appreciate if someone would explain why it happens and also how to disable this behaviour. Thanks in advance. (The NPE I can handle, but what worries me most is that when any exception occurs it kills the bean and the entire application crashes because of this).

Answer 1

OK. My mistake. Originally I planned to use @Singleton instead of @Stateful. And for @Stateful specification states that an instance is destroyed if 'instance throws system exception from any method'.
