This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote EJB and JMS, including all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the EJB and JMS BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up with different versions on classes on the class path).

There is a newer version: 34.0.0.Final

/**
 * Declares the local home or adapted local home interface for a session bean.
 * 
 * Clients written to the enterprise bean 2.1 and earlier client view depend upon the existence of a home and component
 * interface. A session bean written to the enterprise bean 3.x API may be adapted to such earlier preexisting client
 * view interfaces.
 * 

 * The session bean designates the local home interface to be adapted by using the LocalHome annotation on
 * the bean class. The corresponding local component interface need not be explicitly specified, as it is derived from
 * the return type of local home interface's create method signature.
 *
 * 
 * Session beans written to the EJB 3.0 and later APIs do not otherwise make use of local home interfaces.
