Hi,
Home interface is primarily for lifecycle operations such as creating,finding,removing EJBs. Remote interface is for business methods.
In EJB specifications, there are different layers such as client, bean,container, persistence manager (in EJB specification 2.0). There are contracts/rules between these layers. As a result, your bean can run in different containers or your client can access different beans. The server vendors can build their servers on different technologies, with many different capabilities. You follow the rules of the bean-development contract, then the container is able to provide system-level services.
Hope this helpful!
