[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of EJB 3.0] - Re: When is there an EJBObject?

In the failing unit test a proxy to a bean with a remote business interface is cast to an EJBObject. So we can agree that this is in fact an illegal construct? We can still allow a home-less bean with a remote interface. It would result in a partially realized EJB 2.1 view, only usable by EJB 3 users. (EJBTHREE-1058) I say for fully realized EJB 2.1 view you must have: - a home interface (extending EJBHome or EJBLocalHome) - a remote/local interface (extending EJBObject or EJBLocalObject) A home interface without a remote/local interface would then be considered an illegal construct and should throw an exception at deployment time. Same goes for returning some else that the defined remote/local interface from the home's create method(s). In theory we could infer the remote/local interface from the home interface create method's return type. So an explicit remote/local interface definition is then optional.
