    Description

      org.jboss.com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject#narrow() has a catch (Exception error) block in it which wraps all exceptions in a ClassCastException. However, there should be a second catch block which catches RuntimeException and rethrows them verbatim, in order to avoid confusing incorrect error messages.

      In particular, you can get a ClassCastException whose cause is another ClassCastException.

      Problem found in 1.0.4.Final; no version for this exists in the JIRA schema however.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
