Current metadata resolving logic uses AOP advisor.resolveAnnotation on a method. Since the method can be used both in a remote and local interface (via inheritance) we can't differentiate properly and an override listed below fails:

<container-transaction>
<description>Never for method sameMethod on remote intf</description>
<method>
<ejb-name>TxBean</ejb-name>
<method-intf>Remote</method-intf>
<method-name>sameMethod</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Never</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
<container-transaction>
<description>Mandatory for method sameMethod on local intf</description>
<method>
<ejb-name>TxBean</ejb-name>
<method-intf>Local</method-intf>
<method-name>sameMethod</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Mandatory</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
