Heres my code: inteface (business interface) is unannotated: public interface OrderService {...} my slsb is annotated as follows: @Stateless @Local @Remote @TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER) @TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED) public class OrderServiceBean implements OrderService {...} Now, in another SLSB (which is annotated just like above), i am accessing the above bean through injection: public class DemographicsServiceBean implements DemographicsService{ @EJB (name = "earName/OrderServiceBean/local") private OrderService orderService; <!-- OR --> @EJB private OrderService orderService2; ..... } I am just testing this out, so I have a single system, and all the beans are deployed in this system. So the bean has to be available locally also. But still I get only the remote proxy. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070076#...
