[jboss-user] [EJB3] - Remote EJB 3.1 in JBoss 6.1 - ejb-jar.xml changes remote to local

Just bumped into some really nasty problem. I have my EJB 3.1 beans defined using annotations like: @Remote @Stateless public class MyBean implements MyBeanIf { } This is a part of the ejb-jar (myEJB.jar) which is then packaged into EAR (myEAR.ear) and deployed into the server. Because I would like to be able to lookup the MyBean using something different than myEJB in JNDI coordinates, I've added the ejb-jar.xml to the META-INF of ejb-jar. It looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ejb-jar xmlns=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"    xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_1.xsd"    version="3.1">    <module-name>my-service</module-name> </ejb-jar> So, no surprise here - it's rather simple. Now if I deploy it on JBoss AS 7.1 - everything works fine, the JNDI coordinates are correct and I can access the component using configured JNDI name. However, ifI deploy it on JBoss 6.1 it somehow magically *changes my remote interface to local*. In other words, if I don't specify the ejb-jar.xml in my ejb-jar it correctly registers the bean as: scada.server.ea/ArchivingTemplateProvider/remote - EJB3.x Default Remote Business Interface When I add the ejb-jar.xml (in the exact form as you can se above), I can see: scada.server.ea/ArchivingTemplateProvider/local - EJB3.x Default Local Business Interface And, as expected, I cannot lookup my EJB. Is there some problem with mixing annotations and declarative EJB configuration? Why did my bean became local just by adding ejb-jar.xml with element not related with the configuration of enterprise beans? I have a workaround to change the names of artifacts (ejb-jar's) directly in EAR using Maven plugin, but... uh... would rather know what am I doing wrong. What kind of sorcery is this?
