Hi, as far as I know there is no cluster support for EJBs with the current version of the Orion server. Hence this means that the WebContainer and EJB Container are executed in the same virtual machine by default. This is ok, since RMI calls are expensive, so, if you don't have massive Front-End processing then you're not interested in separating the Web- from the EJB container. I guess Orion is doing the same as BEA WLS 5.1, this means, if the RMI call is going to the same virtual machine then it is resolved as a local call. The specification of local references is just an effort to make this performance optimization explicit and binding.
