java.lang.ReflectiveOperationException returned to JDK 6 EJB client when calling JBoss EAP 6 running on JDK 7

Issue

I compiled the client JARs with Java 6. When executing the client with Java 6, I get the following:

javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.ReflectiveOperationException

When running with Java 7, I get:
