[Middlegen-user] 'create' methods on *remote* home with *local* interface parameters

[Russell Black]

First, I want to say God Bless Middlegen!, and kudos to Aslak and the other 
developers.  This will be an enormous time saver if I can get it to do what I need.
 
When I configure middlegen to generate remote interfaces (viewtype="remote" in the 
cmp20 subtask), it generates create methods which take local interfaces as parameters.
 
For example:  a Choice belongs to a Scale, and the middlegen-erated create method in 
ChoiceBean looks like this:
 
   public foo.interfaces.ChoicePK ejbCreate( int number, java.lang.String text, 
boolean na, icoachplus.interfaces.ScaleLocal scale ) 
 
Resulting in an xdoclet-generated *remote* interface that looks like this:  
 
public foo.interfaces.Choice create(int number , java.lang.String text , boolean na , 
icoachplus.interfaces.ScaleLocal scale)

This causes two issues.  First, since it didn't generate any local interfaces, it 
won't compile.  I can make it compile by using viewtype="both", but the real issue in 
my mind is:  what good is a create method on a remote interface that takes local 
interfaces as parameters?  A remote client of course does not have access to local 
interfaces.
 
I love the CMR feature introduced in EJB 2.0, so I want to use local interfaces where 
I can, but I'd really like to be able to create objects with the remote interfaces 
where running in the same JVM is not an option.
 
Thanks,
 
Russell
