I'd like to come to a consensus here and close EJBTHREE-1058 out. "EJB 3.0 4.6.6" wrote : The (session bean's business) interface must not extend the javax.ejb.EJBObject or javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject interface. I believe this makes: public interface StatefulRemote extends EJBObject{...} | | ...and: | | @Stateful | @Remote(StatefulRemote.class) | @RemoteBinding(jndiBinding = StatefulRemote.JNDI_NAME_REMOTE) | public class StatefulRemoteBean ...from 1058 an invalid construct. "StatefulRemote" is here marked as remote business interface, but it extends EJBObject. RemoteUnitTestCase.testEJBObject() is now passing. Would like to: * Close 1058 as invalid * Open new issue: Construct in 1058 should result in deployment failure, citing spec 4.6.6. Y/N?
