I've been playing with registering the virtual methods of the interfaces instead of the bean impl class. This, coupled with an overriding hash function to take the declaring class of a method into account, moves us forward in terms of getting at whether we have a business or component "remove" method called. However, it fails the following case: @Stateless | @Remote(MyRemoteBusiness.class) | public class MyBean{...} ...because MyBean is not assignable to MyRemoteBusiness, MethodInvocation gives us a nice IllegalArgumentException. I think I'm done messing with this and AOP for now.
