remote/local interfaces interchangeable

[chadlavy]

I have discovered, accidentally, that in place of local interfaces in my ejb-local-ref block I have been using remote ones. It has worked for some time without error. Is this a bug? Does it mean that it is unnecessary for me to create local interfaces in JBoss?

Here's a snippit:

<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>emdr/datamodel/LocalClassFunctionDA</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>com.bankone.emdr.dataaccess.interfaces.ClassFunctionDAHome</local-home>
<local>com.bankone.emdr.dataaccess.interfaces.ClassFunctionDA</local>
<ejb-link>testClassFunctionDABean</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>

ClassFunctionDAHome is a remote home interface and ClassFunctionDA is a remote object interface.

Didn't you get a warning on the console
when you deployed the application?

If you didn't it is a bug, post it at
