One possible solution -- the target id for the ProxyFactory can't be its JNDI name. It should be the ObjectName of the container + another attribute. For clustered beans, the partition name should be included as well. Problem with this is the doesn't deal with the EJBTHREE-773 issue -- apparently customers wanted to deploy the same bean in the same package on node0 and node1. But if a client on node0 specifically looks up the bean on node1's JNDI, the call should go to the node1 bean.
