Exposing EJB Local Interfaces to JBoss.NET

[bleupen]

Does JBoss.NET support exposing a bean's local interface methods to web service invocation?

if not, are the remote calls optimized to use pass-by-reference method calls?

ideally, we wish to use local interfaces exclusively in our EJB's and to use Web Services / JBoss.NET to support all remote method invocations.

has anyone successfully bound a Web Service to an EJB's local interface? or am i asking a completely stupid question?

I assume you are concerned about the connection between the Axis servlet and your EJB. The overhead of the non-local EJB call is dwarfed by the overhead of the SOAP call so I would'nt worry about it.

hey!

i am more concerned about writing remote interfaces for all of my beans solely for the purpose of web services. can someone confirm whether or not jboss.net works with local interfaces?

Ignore my previous stupid reply ...

Look at the Hello demo. It appears to be using a local reference. Have you tried and it failed?

Jim,

Thanks for the replies! i have had a terrible time getting the complete source files for the Hello demo and compiling them. could you email me the compiled binaries + source?

thanks!

Hi Brad

I could not get the local interfaces to work either. It still seems to me that they should work but alas...

Jim,

that's too bad. The Hello example would still be most useful to me. i think i have JBoss configured incorrectly because none of my web services will deploy. the Axis service starts but the server is unable to find a deployer for the .wsr.

Could you (or anybody else!) post he Hello ear file to the board?

Thanks!
