sporadic "IllegalStateException: EJBCLIENT000025: No EJB receiver available for handling"

Issue

• While testing the applications under load, we get the error below from one server instance. This error is intermittent, across lots of invocations we see it only in about 10% of the invocations. Other invocations complete successfully.
• we have a POJO inside of a deployed application which call an EJB but wee see an EJBCLIENT000025 Exception
• in our deployed application we see sometimes this EJBCLIENT000025 errors

Here are examples of a stacktrace:
