in the file of ejb-jar.xml,the home interface is already defined.why redefine it in the jboss.xml.Does that mean that in the ejb-jar.xml,it is local interface,but in the file of jboss.xml,it is remote interface?

If only remote home interface is avaible,then how to config the ejb-ref in the ejb-jar.xml,only omitting the ejb-ref-name is OK?

in the ejb-jar.xml
<ejb-ref>
An external EJB reference
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/RemoteBean</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
org.jboss.test.naming.interfaces.TestENCHome2
org.jboss.test.naming.interfaces.TestENC
</ejb-ref>


in the jboss.xml

<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/RemoteBean</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi- name>jnp://banshee:1099/ENCTests/ejbs/RemoteENCBean</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>

First of all you are in the wrong forum; use the EJB forum. The ejb-jar.xml file is required by the EJB specification. On the other hand, the jboss.xml file provides optimal configuration infromation that jboss need. The EJB 2.0 specification the ejb-ref is used for remote interfaces and the ejb-local-ref is used for local interfaces. I suggest you read a book on basic EJB coding.
