Yup, it was annotated with @Remote I finally found the problem by everybody's favourite trial and error approach. I'll state the solution here to save troubles to people with similar problems. What I had was the following file structure: | ear file: | +-myear.ear | | +-META-INF | | +-Demo.jar | | standalon war file: | +-DemoWeb.war | | +-WEB-INF | | +-lib | | +-Demo.jar | | Note Demo.jar is deployed twice, once in the ear and again in the war. This was making the @RemoteBinding annotation being ignored. I don't know why, because i thought jars in WEB-INF/lib aren't being deployed even if they contain ejbs, but perhaps I am wrong. when I repacked it all to one EAR (and removed the redundand Demo.jar from WEB-INF/lib) it started working | +-myear.ear | | +-META-INF | | +-Demo.jar | | +-DemoWeb.war | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4021193#...
