ejb transaction rollback of application exceptions does not work

Question

my team is having problems due to transactions that do not rollback after application exceptions. I created a configuration so that all exceptions that were subclasses of Exception would generate rollback, but the configuration did not work. Does anyone know what I did wrong? I put the fallowing configuration in ejb-jar file inside WEB-INF

<assembly-descriptor>
        <application-exception>
            <exception-class>java.lang.Exception</exception-class>
            <rollback>true</rollback>
            <inherited>true</inherited>
        </application-exception>
    </assembly-descriptor>

The configuration you use must be included into META-INF/ejb-jar.xml, you can find and example here:
