[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0 Users] - Returning EJB's from EJB's and transactions

Hello, I'm wondering about design of my application. We a lot of EJB (EJB3) using the @Stateless and @EJB tags. All EJB's are now local, but we're considering changing a few in remote interface. Quite a few EJB's return EJB's also and I wonder if that is correct in the first place, and secondly if this still works (and is correct) if the beans would become remote EJB's: | @Stateless | @Local | class BeanABean implements BeanA | { | .. | } | | @Stateless | @Local | class BeanBBean implements BeanB | { | @EJB | BeanA beanA; | | BeanA getBeanA() { return beanA; } | } | Is the above code correct with regard to any JEE spec (I know from experience the code works). Secondly, if I use a BeanA that is returned from by the method of BeanB, is each operation done at BeanA done in a new transaction? Thirdly, what if both BeanA and BeanB become a remote interface (so getBeanA returns a remote interface), is the code still correct? All of the above might be somewhere in an article, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything that exactly answered my questions.
