Hi,

I think this should be possible. In the following snippets, I assume that you use EJB3.

Step 1:in your EJB jar, you can define the global JNDI names of your beans.

Either use annotations ("org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.RemoteBinding") on the bean class, or use a "jboss.xml" file:

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC
    "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 5.0//EN"
    "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_5_0.dtd">
<jboss>
    <enterprise-beans>
        <session>
            <ejb-name>MyBean</ejb-name>
            <jndi-name>MyRemoteName</jndi-name>
            <local-jndi-name>MyLocalName</local-jndi-name>
        </session>
    </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
{code}

Step 2: in your client project, use a "jboss-web.xml" (for web client) or "jboss-client.xml" (for app client) and the ENC to map a ejb reference to this global name. Here is a snippet for a "jboss-web.xml":

{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC
    "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
    "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
<jboss-web>
    ...
    <ejb-ref>
        <ejb-ref-name>ejb/MyRemoteEjbRef</ejb-ref-name>
        <jndi-name>MyRemoteName</jndi-name>
    </ejb-ref>

    <ejb-local-ref>
        <ejb-ref-name>ejb/MyLocalRef</ejb-ref-name>
        <local-jndi-name>MyLocalName</local-jndi-name>
    </ejb-local-ref>
</jboss-web>
{code}

Of course, you have to declare those Environment Naming Context (ENC) entries also in "web.xml" or "application-client.xml"

Hope this helps

Sorry for the broken XML, this forum sucks sometimes...
