The method-intf element allows a method element to
differentiate between the methods with the same name and
signature that are multiply defined across the home and
component interfaces (e.g, in both an enterprise bean's
remote and local interfaces or in both an enterprise bean's
home and remote interfaces, etc.); the component and web
service endpoint interfaces, and so on.
Local applies to the local component interface, local business
interfaces, and the no-interface view.
Remote applies to both remote component interface and the remote
business interfaces.
ServiceEndpoint refers to methods exposed through a web service
endpoint.
Timer refers to the bean's timeout callback methods.
MessageEndpoint refers to the methods of a message-driven bean's
message-listener interface.
The method-intf element must be one of the following:
- Home
- Remote
- LocalHome
- Local
- ServiceEndpoint
- Timer
- MessageEndpoint
