Exposing EJB3.0 SLSB to an EJB2.1 Client

[rbenko]

Hello:

I realize this is theoretically possible - however, I am having trouble putting it into practice. The included tutorial http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/ejb21_client_adaptors/ejb21_client_adaptors.html is painfully thin on detail. Has anyone succeeded in deploying one?

Some questions:

1) Does the remote home (declared via the @RemoteHome annotation) class need to be a concrete class, or just an interface?
2) Does the container class that implements the remote interface have to provide the implementation of the javax.ejb.EJBObject?
3) does anyone have a concrete example, with all necessary interfaces/classes?

Thanks for any help.

Another question - I'm assuming that the EJB2.1 clients will NOT need the jboss-ejb3-client.jar (that would kind of defeat the purpose).

When I deploy the annotated bean and try to look it up, I keep getting the following exception:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessRemoteProxy (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)


Obviously my client would not have this class, not being EJB3 enabled.
