We have an application that performs a division of labor. We have the same EJB's bound and deployed on several different application servers under the same name. We have a requirement for an EJB on server A to call the same EJB on serverB. When the EJB on serverA attempts to call the EJB on serverB, it is incorrectly optimizing it to serverA.

Here is the output from a client test I have written. I will attach the example in the next post:
Calling serverOne at jnp://localhost:2000 directly
Result is ServerOne (should be ServerOne)
Calling serverTwo at jnp://localhost:2100 directly
Result is ServerTwo (should be ServerTwo)
Calling serverTwo through ServerOne
Result is ServerOne (should be ServerTwo)

I believe this is due to the following invoke method in the InvokerInterceptor class (line 93):
/**

• The invocation on the delegate, calls the right invoker.
• Remote if we are remote, local if we are local.
  */
  public Object invoke(Invocation invocation)
  throws Exception { // optimize if calling another bean in same server VM if (isLocal(invocation)) return invokeLocal(invocation); else return invokeInvoker(invocation); }
