[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Re: Local and Remote interfaces required in EJB3

Sure...but wouldn't the generated interfaces have to be created at pre-compile time? And annotations provide metadata that's part of the compiled code...

OK, but when you do your lookup to the proxy that doesn't implement an interface, how would you cast it or call methods on it?

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
  | Object obj = ctx.lookup("jndiAddress");
  | ((FooLocal)obj).foo(); // < You wouldn't be able to cast or invoke if the proxy doesn't implement an interface

Sounds like you'd just like an XDoclet-esque step for generating Java source before compilation?
