Restrictions on Remote Interfaces

The following restrictions apply to the remote interface of an EJB 2.1 bean that uses CMP:

• Do not expose the get and set methods for CMR fields or the persistence collection classes that are used in container-managed relationships through the remote interface of the bean.

  However, you are free to expose the get and set methods that correspond to the CMP fields of the entity bean through the bean’s remote interface.

• Do not expose the container-managed collection classes that are used for relationships through the remote interface of the bean.

• Do not expose local interface types or local home interface types through the remote interface or remote home interface of the bean.

Dependent value classes can be exposed in the remote interface or remote home interface, and can be included in the client EJB JAR file.
