User development, A new message was posted in the thread "How do I enable pass-by-reference for EJB3 in JBoss AS container?": http://community.jboss.org/message/528878#528878 Author : jaikiran pai Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/jaikiran Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- In short, it's not possible with EJB3 in JBoss AS-5   Yes, it was true and would still apply for EJB2.x.   It's not used in EJB3 for JBoss. It's (probably is still) used for EJB2.x. The EJB3 interceptors are all present in ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml in the deploy folder.   In JBoss AS-5, for EJB3 remote interfaces, the interceptors are smart enough to figure out whether the client lies in the same VM and if it does, then the call is *not* routed through any network layer. However the call for EJB3 remote interfaces, *is* still serialized/de-serialized (since the spec mandates it).  Currently there's no way to disable this.   I guess, you could probably add a feature request https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE to allow something along those lines. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528878#528878
