hi,

I'm trying to develop a session bean facade to hide some CMP beans from the outside.

These CMP's are only defined with local intefaces.

The SLSB has a remote inteface and is trying to connect the CMP throught their local inteface but it seems like the name binding fails.

I've found informations about the <ejb-ref> or <ejb-local-ref> tagsfor the session bean definition in ejb-jar.xml but each definitions is different from the other so I can't figure out which is the good one (even if I've tried them both)

I also wonder which tag to put in the jboss.xml file. Do my CMP beans have to be declared with a <jndi-name> or a <jndi-local-name> tag ?

Last point : when deploying the .jar file with a <ejb-ref> defined in the ejb-jar.xml file, no "nickname binding" is created for the CMP as almost all docs say.

DOCS USED :
- "Rules and Patterns for Session Facades" - Kyles Brown - (c) IBM
- "Mastering EJB II" - Ed Roman
- Differents EJB/Java forums

Thanks for any help,
ionel
