RMIAdaptor.getMBeanInfo(ObjectName) fails for a handful of JBoss MBeans.

The problem can be demonstrated by acquiring an RMIAdaptor, iterating over all the bean ObjectNames, and attempting to get the MBeanInfo object for each bean. The code below illustrates this:

final RMIAdaptor rmiAdaptor = (RMIAdaptor)context.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");
final Iterator it = rmiAdaptor.queryNames(null, null).iterator();

while (it.hasNext())
{
final ObjectName objectName = (ObjectName)it.next();
try

{ final MBeanInfo mbeanInfo = rmiAdaptor.getMBeanInfo(objectName); System.out.println("Got MBeanInfo for mbean: " + objectName); }

catch (Throwable t)

{ System.err.println("Failed to get MBeanInfo for bean named: " + objectName); }

}

Below is a list of ObjectNames for the offending MBeans. They are listed in three groupings, according to the type of Exception that was thrown while calling RMIAdaptor.getBeanInfo(). Listed further below are each of the three lengthy stack traces that are produced.
