Just as an FYI, though I haven't tried it on WebLogic yet, re-using
<home> and <remote> interfaces with different <ejb-class>'s also works
in the J2EE SDK 1.3 as well as in JBoss (I just tested it a couple days
ago).
WMckean,
I'm still interested in you sending me the WebLogic info (and the
"obscure spec" reference) so I can investigate.
Thanks,
David
