Thinking about it, it seems weird that the client should have to know about the name of the server-side class implementing the interface (the exception is of course multiple implementations of the same interface). </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p></blockquote><p>You don't need to know the class name of the implementing bean class. That's just a default that gets used. i.e. the bean name defaults to the simple class name of the implementing class. It can always be overriden using the <em>name</em> attribute of the appropriate annotation (@Stateless, @Stateful, @Singleton) or via the <em>ejb-name</em> element of ejb-jar.xml.</p></blockquote><p>I've done some more research, and I guess what it boils down to is that the client needs to know that name (whether default or custom); the interface alone plus the connection to the server is not enough to lookup and connect to the remote implementation. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Are there other approaches I can use to streamline this? Is this something domain deployment would help with?</p></div>
