Unable to run ejb application when interface (local and remote ) is added

Question

Environment used

Netbeans 8.0+

glassfish 4+

jdk 1.8

Note this example works well if you use no interface view .It does not works well if we use local or remote interface

Remote interface

package packt;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface SphereBeanRemote {
     public double computeVolume(double radius);
}

implementation of above interface

package packt;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class SphereBean implements SphereBeanRemote {
    @Override
    public double computeVolume(double radius) {
         return (4.0/3.0)*Math.PI*(radius*radius*radius);
    }

}

client(servlet) which access it

import java.io.*;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import packt.SphereBean;

@WebServlet(urlPatterns = {"/SphereServlet"})
public class SphereServlet extends HttpServlet {
    @EJB
    SphereBean sphere;
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        try (PrintWriter out = response.getWriter()) {

            out.println("<!DOCTYPE html>");
            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Servlet SphereServlet</title>");            
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
            out.println("<h1>Servlet SphereServlet at " + request.getContextPath() + "</h1>");
            out.println("<h1>" + sphere.computeVolume(18)  + "</h1>");
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");
        }
    }

      @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
      @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    @Override
    public String getServletInfo() {
        return "Short description";
    }

}

§4.9.8 of the specification states that:

The following are the requirements for a session bean that exposes a no-interface view:

The bean class must designate that it exposes a no-interface view via its bean class definition or in the deployment descriptor. The following rules apply:

If the bean does not expose any other client views (local, remote, no-interface, 2.x Remote Home, 2.x Local Home, Web Service) and its implements clause is empty, the bean defines a no-interface view.

If the bean exposes at least one other client view, the bean designates that it exposes a no-interface view by means of the LocalBean annotation on the bean class or in the deployment descriptor.

Therefore, changing your implementation:

package packt;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;

@LocalBean
@Stateless
public class SphereBean implements SphereBeanRemote {
    @Override
    public double computeVolume(double radius) {
         return (4.0/3.0)*Math.PI*(radius*radius*radius);
    }
}

should do the trick for you.

If however, you want to actually use the Local/Remote interface then that is the type you should use when injecting:

@WebServlet(urlPatterns = {"/SphereServlet"})
public class SphereServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @EJB
    SphereBeanRemote sphere;

    ...
