One could argue that since the specs say you can only use local interfaces for EJBs in the same EAR, you should put all the EJBs you want local access to *in the same EAR*. Sorry, couldn't resist. Another way to approach the deployment problem is to allow the redeployment of JARs/WARs within an EAR. I think JSR-88 allows for that, and in general it should be possible to autodetect what's changed in the EAR (based on file sizes, dates, checksums, or something along those lines). Aaron
