Can I use inheritance in remote/local interfaces? (EJB3)

Question

An example:

@Remote
public interface SomeComponentRemote{

    public Something processStuff();

}

//--

@Local
public interface SomeComponentLocal extends SomeComponentRemote{

}

Is that allowed? Can i do this regularly?

Answer 1

Your way is not allowed as you can not mark your interface with both @Local and @Remote annotations according to specification. And it is not a good idea from point of code reading.

Recommended solution is

public interface SomeComponent {
    public Something processStuff();
}

@Local
public interface SomeComponentLocal extends SomeComponent {
}

@Remote
public interface SomeComponentRemote extends SomeComponent {
}
