Nicholas, I believe Jason got it right according to the first two paragraphs of section 5.3 (page 52) of the EJB 2.0 specification:
<snip> 5.3 Local Clients Session and entity beans may have local clients. A local client is a client that is collocated in the same JVM with the session or entity bean that provides the local client view and which may be tightly coupled to the bean. A local client of a session bean or an entity bean may be another enterprise bean (a session bean, entity bean, or message-driven bean). Unlike the remote client view, the local client view of a bean is not location independent. Access to an enterprise bean through the local client view requires the collocation in the same JVM of both the local client and the enterprise bean that provides the local client view. The local client view therefore does not provide the location transparency provided by the remote client view. </snip> Cheers, Franck Rasolo Independent Consultant London, UK --- Nicholas Lesiecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone have the spec chapter and verse on these issues?
