As for my platform, I am using jboss-5.0.0.GA on OS X 10.5.6 using JDK 1.5.0_16.. In regards to the comments / questions dealing with the mappedName v. name.. the example yields the same results whether I am using mappedName or name. in other words.. @EJB(name="javaEEApplication/HelloWorldStatelessBean/remote-com.di.examples.HelloWorld") HelloWorld helloWorld; @EJB(name="javaEEApplication/StatelessLifecycle/remote-com.di.examples.HelloWorld") HelloWorld lifecycle; @EJB(name="HelloWorldStatelessBean") HelloWorld helloWorldBean; @EJB(name="StatelessLifecycle") HelloWorld lifecycleBean; all resolve to the same exact EJB even though HelloWorldStatelessBean and StatelessLifecyle are two different beans.. i have tried many variations.. but still no success. it still appears that jboss is making the assumption that a business interface can be implemented by only one EJB.. however, in my example i have two beans implement the same business interface. each ejb has a specific (and different) implementation..
