JBAS 5 allows create methods for EJB2x home interface client view with the name 'create' only

According to EJB3 spec, home/local home interfaces for ejb3 stateful session bean (adopted to ejb2x client view) can have multiple create<METHOD> methods. The requirement is that their names begin with "create". Each of this methods must have corresponding @Init method or ejbCreate<METHOD> methods in the bean class.

When I was trying to run a bean with many create methods in its local home interface under JBOSS 5.0.1, I got an exception:
"IllegalArgumentException - illegal home method ..." (followed by the signature of the method) thrown from the org.jboss.ejb3.session.SessionSpecContainer class.

The create method's signature in local home interface is:

public TestSF2xLocal createA() throws CreateException;

where TestSF2xLocal is the bean's local component interface for 2.x client view. The bean class has a @Init method defined in it:
@Init("createA") public void doInitA() ...

I looked into the source code for ejb3 module a bit and found out, that the invokeHomeMethod method of the SessionSpecContainer class compares the name of the method being called to "create":

if (method.getName().equals(Ejb2xMethodNames.METHOD_NAME_HOME_CREATE))

{ return this.invokeHomeCreate(method, args); }

As this comparison fails in my case, an exception is thrown:

else

{ throw new IllegalArgumentException("illegal home method " + method); }

The very same bean works fine with Glassfish 2. I'd suggest that JBoss behaviour is against the spec in this case.
