The jndi policy is only part of the issue. I have hacky logic in the MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer to set the jndi policy to use if its not set (and its generally not) based on whether its and ejb3/2 deployment and other logic to try to match what the ProxyDeployer is doing. The ProxyDeployer first looks to @RemoteBinding/@JndiBindingPolicy annotations set in ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml rather than any metadata. Its not clear if these are somehow bridged to the corresponding JBossMetaData. So the question is how can we get a common view of all jndi names an ejb deployment provides. Right now the MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer is trying to build this view where it outputs a Map(String, ContainerDependencyMetaData) for all of the ejb endpoints in a deployment. The ContainerDependencyMetaData contains the jndi name(s, currently there is only one) used as the jndi name for reference resolution as well as the supply/demands information for dependencies expressed to the mc. Getting this explicitly defined at the metadata level seems to be where we need to get to. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4146845#...
