Exactly right. On deploy we flagged it and failed the deployment with a clear error message saying it was non compliant. Marco updated his app and not it is far more portable. Now that I type this it occurs to me the error message in this exact case should have recommended using @LocalBean instead. I filed a JIRA for that one here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1836 If someone wants to work on that, that'd be a great place to start contributing! In fact, we have a number of validations we could do that would save user's time and prevent runtime bugs. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-453 Everything in that list not checked green is up for grabs. These validations are very easy to write as we have a pretty clean framework for implementing them and testing them. I can't say enough how great of a place it is to get started coding and creating something that directly benefits other users. Here is an example of a validation to ensure EJBs using Container-Managed Transactions are not also trying to reference UserTransaction. This is illegal per spec. Trying to compete with the container transaction management by also using UserTransaction is going to result in serious issues at runtime, so we check for it. The code to check it is really very tiny: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/openejb/container/openejb-core/src/main/java/org/apache/openejb/config/rules/CheckUserTransactionRefs.java The test for it as well is also very small: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/openejb/container/openejb-core/src/test/java/org/apache/openejb/config/rules/CheckUserTransactionRefsTest.java We can thank Karan Malhi for the amazing validation test suite. -David
