[jboss-as7-dev] Invoking remote EJBs on JBoss AS 4/5/6 from JBoss AS 7

[Stephen Coy]

Hi there,

For interest sake last week I worked out a solution to a user's problem related to calling remote EJBs from JBoss 7 that were hosted on older versions of JBoss.

See <https://community.jboss.org/thread/204513?tstart=0> for the background.

Anyway, I have since worked out that I could bundle this up in a module so that clients would only need to add a jboss-deployment-structure.xml to their apps to get this functionality:

<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="org.jboss.ejb-client.compatibility" />
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

I've incorporated the module into my clone of the current JBoss master branch at <https://github.com/sfcoy/jboss-as/tree/ejb-client.compatibility>.

Should I send a pull request for this?

Cheers,

Stephen Coy
