My colleague asked me whether it's possible somehow to deploy a .war file, 
containing a servlet with an @EJB reference to a stateless session bean, on 
JBoss server A, and an ejb .jar file, containing the bean so referenced, on 
JBoss server B.

My immediate answer was no, but then I hesitated. Perhaps there's a vendor 
specific way to accomplish this?

The broader context is that we're looking to see what we'd have to do if a 
client of ours were to want to scale horizontally--i.e. have many .war 
instances all talking to a remote, behind-the-DMZ EJB server.  Personally I 
think this is a bad idea, since the web tier is rarely the bottleneck point, 
but supposing we had a particularly difficult customer who wanted to do 
this--is there anything we could tell him?

Ordinarily, of course, you'd ship the .war file and the EJB .jar file as part 
of an .ear file, dump it in one server, and scale the server (i.e. garden 
variety clustering, or vertical scaling, or whatever you want to call it). But 
we have customers who like for whatever reason to put their web stuff on one 
box and their business logic on another.

Any pointers are gratefully appreciated.

Best,
Laird
