public @interface Local

Declares the local business interface(s) for a session bean.

The Local annotation is applied to the session bean class or local business interface to designate a local interface of the bean.

When used on the bean class, declares the local business interface(s) for a session bean. When used on an interface, designates that interface as a local business interface. In this case, no value element should be provided.

The Local annotation applies only to session beans and their interfaces.

Use of the Local annotation is only required when the bean class does not implement only a single interface other than any of the following: java.io.Serializable; java.io.Externalizable; any of the interfaces defined in javax.ejb.

Since:
