Local Interface Binding in 5.0

[bdecoste]

This was briefly discussed a while back ...

Do we want to bind Local interfaces to the java: namespace? This would eliminate all of the logic for checking to see if a Local interface was looked up on a remote JBoss instance. If you can look it up, it's valid ...

I can't think of any problems with this except it really breaks backward compatibility, which I realize isn't a goal of 5.0 but still it's a major change.

No it doesn't. Somebody in the same server could look it up and return it as
the result of a remote invocation.

That's a good point. As stupid as doing that is, somebody will do it. You've convinced me - I'll finish merging the logic from 4.2 to prevent users from calling local interfaces remotely.
