EJB3 Local and Remote interfaces

Question

I understood that Local interface is designed for clients in the same container\'s JVM instance and remote interface is designed for clients residing outside the EJB container\'

Answer 1

You use the remote interfaces, but you make a lookup using JNDI (that's how i'd do it), this way you find the instance of the EJB in the server and can use it in your web application.

Although you still need a jar with the EJB interfaces in the web application project.

EDIT and I agree with JB Nizet, why would you want the WAR outside the EAR?
