@Local only works if the calling end is running within the same VM as the server. Therefore you need to use @Remote instead if you want your beans to work with application clients. Why are you still trying to get dependency injection to work? Last I heard it doesn't work with JBoss at all -- and it's awful in Glassfish too. Just give it up and use JNDI lookups just like everyone else does. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4049322#...
