Beginning in EJB version 2.0, clients can also execute EJB components using local interfaces if the client and component execute in the same virtual machine. Using the local interface can improve performance. You can use local interfaces for intercomponent calls, and for component invocations made from servlets and JSPs hosted by the same server as the component. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Developing EJB Clients,” in the Enterprise JavaBeans User’s Guide.
