Shortcut for session bean interfaces?

[oberiko]

Hello.

If I have a simple session bean, is there any kind of shortcut I can take to prevent having to create a local / remote interface? Something which I can use to keep all the code for the class and its interface in one Java file?

No. Unless you want to use session scoped POJOs. Sit down and wait for EJB 3.1 (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=318) ;-)

This is really something the IDEs should do a better job with. It's a real pain to work with interfaces in eclipse.

Aye, a simple annotation like "@DirectLocalInterface" for Session beans would be nice.

Still, since EJB 3.1 is due out at the end of this year, I guess the issue is essentially taken care of then.
