I'm just expressing that this difficulty does exist. | For an EJB3 in AS 5 to be accessible from both AS 4.2 and AS 5, then 1a. either, as David says, there would have to be two EJB3 implementations running on the server, or 1b. we would have to turn org.jboss.aspects.remoting.AOPRemotingInvocationHandler into a bean that could be shared by both Remoting 2 and Remoting 3, and 2a. either EJB3 would have to create two separate proxies, or 2b. org.jboss.aspects.remoting.InvokeRemoteInterceptor would have to be able to talk to both Remoting 2 and Remoting 3, which means 2ba. either it would have to probe its environment to determine which version of Remoting is available (could be a System property), or 2bb. we would have to provide a Remoting 2 facade for Remoting 3 so that InvokeRemoteInterceptor doesn't need to know which version of Remoting is running. As for 1, would having two implementations of the same SFSB running simultaneously cause a problem? 2a seems distasteful. As for 2ba versus 2bb, that's a separate issue. Having a Remoting 2 facade would be *nice*, but maybe not urgent. For me, the overriding consideration is that all of these changes, while seemingly doable, amount to spreading all over the Application Server something that should be handled discreetly in Remoting. 1a+2a is particularly egregious in this respect. I think we could live with 1b+2ba, since org.jboss.aspects.remoting is part of the integration of Remoting into the Application Server. I would say that 1. 1b+2ba should be our minimal goal, and 2. hiding everything inside Remoting proper is preferable, since it better serves standalone users. The latter seems to imply a "socket" transport in Remoting 3. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4167208#...
