It seems that if I execute an EJB 3 query with JBoss and it returns an empty resultset, I cannot catch EntityNotFoundException. It seems that an aspect intercepts somewhere and does not allow me to respond.

I need to be able to detect in the session if the entity exist. If it does I update it. If not, I create a new one. I am testing the if not part but I can never get past EntityNotFoundException even if I catch it from the component calling the query.

Hey, we currently does not raise the ENFE, but only the Hibernate evrsion of it. There is an open JIRA issue about that.
