I added http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/webbeans/ri/trunk/spi/src/main/java/org/jb... which also adds the create() method for instantiating the EJB. This also includes Ken's recomendation of using the reference to obtain the correct proxy which implements the business interface. I also wrote a naive implementation for JBoss http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/webbeans-ri-int/trunk/ejb... which uses the global local proxy that JBoss EJB3 binds, and holds a reference to the proxy locally to ensure the state is maintained over the lifecycle of the contextual instance. I would appreciate help with both the remove() method (sounds like we need a new release of JBoss EJB3 for this?) and also ideas on how to better implement the create() and get().
