I apologize. I did not notice that in your example you are specifying the interface classes for each annotation. I just saw that the bean can be annotated with both @local and @remote, and so I thought I was doing it right. By using two interfaces it works fine. Thanks for your time and effort. But then to fetch a proxy we need to be aware in our code how the bean is deployed (by declaring a variable of the correct interface type). Isnt there a way where we could be unaware of the deployment location of the EJB and depend on JBoss to intelligently return us the correct proxy? Something like this: @EJB BusinessInterface interfaceVar; where business interface could be a super interface of the local and remote interfaces. I have tried it and it doesnt work. But is there any way? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070184#...
