Dunno if this will answer ur question to the desired extent, but how about distributing the common 'low-level' beans as part of jars/ears of different applications, and giving different JNDI names for these repeated beans in each of the jars/ears. That gives u code reuse for sure, and all that the bean clients need is to use the correct JNDI name....

I am developping more and more applications (either standalone or webapps) that use EJBs. In my designs, I took a special care of creating reusable beans. (avoid relationship that were not obvious parts of the OO model) I thought this could allow me to access "low level" beans in more than one application. (by "low level beans" I mean beans that map widely accessed datas such as employees datas or projects datas. They can be used in a yellow page applications, in a scheduler application, in a project management application ...) Unfortunatly, I found that relationship does not work between beans that are not deployed inside the same JAR package or the inside the same EAR package. Plus, deploying more than one instance of an EJB throws exception about "already deployed beans" so I can't even pack these beans with each application I develop. My question is : how did you solve this problem ? I thought of deploying a version of the "low level beans" with each JAR package but the datasource is not the same for "low level beans" and for the application's beans. Also, packaging all my apps in a big huge EAR package is not a wise solution :) I hope my explanations are clear enougth to get an answer.
