1) call EJBHome.remove via a SLSB to remove an
EntityBean.
2) call EJBHome.findByPrimaryKey via the SLSB by the
same PK.
(ObjectNotFoundException is thrown)
3) call EJBHome.remove via the SLSB by the same PK
again.
(RemoveException is thrown)
4) call EJBHome.findByPrimaryKey via the SLSB by the
same PK.

A bean reference is returned(Exception isn't thrown).
The DB record related to the EntityBean has been
deleted since 1).
So, the EntityBean cache seems to be regenerated
through 3).

condition:
commit-option A on the EntityBean
transaction: Required

workaround:
use EJBObject.remove instead of EJBHome.remove.
use setRollbackOnly in the SLSB.
throw EJBException when RemoveException is thrown.
use findByPrimaryKey before remove(not to call
EJBHome.remove twice).

an attatched archive is to reproduce the problem.
