• Key Concepts: 
  Local interface is a component of the SAP BC-JAS-EJB Container EJB. It is an interface that allows applications to access Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) that are deployed in the same application server. It provides a way for applications to access the services of an EJB without having to go through the network. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The local interface can be used to access EJBs deployed in the same application server. To do this, the application must first obtain a reference to the local interface of the EJB. This reference can be obtained from the JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) or from the EJB container itself. Once the reference is obtained, the application can then invoke methods on the EJB using the local interface. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using local interfaces, it is important to remember that they are only available for EJBs deployed in the same application server. If an application needs to access an EJB deployed in a different application server, then it must use a remote interface instead.
