Use of @Remote(interface.class)

Does the use of @Remote(interface.class) in the ejb have any impact?

In other words. What's the diference between this:

@Remote(MyRemoteInterface.class)
@Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyRemoteInterface {

And this:

@Stateless
public class MyBean implements MyRemoteInterface {

When the inteface looks like this:

@Remote
public interface MyRemoteInterface {

Both solutions works fine on JBoss 6.4 when using the bean through the remote inteface.

Solution

  • There is no difference, its just different way of writing it, see 2.1.2 of the EJB 3.1 spec:

    The interface can be annotated on with @Local or @Remote on the interface class, or annotated with @Local (.class) or @Remote (.class) on the bean class
