a malycky

Hi,

am studying for the BCD exam (using head first EJB) and have a question on CMR and local interface specification.

If you must specify the beans local component interface as the return type for the virtual persistent getter, does this mean that you can NOT use CMR if you are deploying ejb's that are typically going to be accessed remotely (and therfore you have coded the remote component interface and deployed as such)?

wouldn't a requirement to use local interface with CMR mean you would always have to code the local component interface and always deploy a bean as local??? (I haven't read chapter 12 yet on the details of the DD)

thansk!
