Because I'm new to working with EJB's (and xdoclet) and haven't gotten down all of the do's and don'ts in design and implementation yet <g>. My first goal was to get familiar with using xdoclet to create entity and session beans. Now that I have a handle that, I can concentrate on design. And the current design doesn't have remote interfaces for the entity beans so I guess my question was for naught.
