JBoss and local interfaces (JNDI)

Question

I'm trying to do simple example involving local interfaces on JBoss.
There is Bar remote interface, which uses Foo, local interface. And the problem is - i cant locate Foo within Bar:
ejb-jar.xml:
<session>
<ejb-name>BarEjb</ejb-name>
</session>
<entity>
<ejb-name>FooEjb</ejb-name>
</entity>To make FooEjb accessible for Bar via local interface, as manual says, i have to put additional reference in ejb-jar.xml for Bar:
<ejb-local-ref>
     <ejb-ref-name>LocalFooEjb</ejb-ref-name>
     <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
     <local-home>beans.FooHome</local-home>
     <local>beans.Foo</local>
     <ejb-link>FooEjb</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>But it doesnt change anything, JBoss maps Foo like this: "Bound EJB LocalHome 'FooEjb' to jndi 'local/FooEjb@13595063'", and
public class  Bar ... {
Object ref = context.lookup("LocalFooEjb");
}resuluts in exception:
"java.lang.RuntimeException: LocalFooEjb not bound ..."
Question: how do i map local interfaces within JBoss to some human-readable and predictable name?
Thanks for help.
update:
specifying JNDI names in jboss.xml does the trick, but i still dont understand why JBoss ignores local-ref element. So anyone who can explain is welcome.
jboss.xml
...xml declaration..
<jboss>
     <enterprise-beans>
          <session>
               <ejb-name>StockListEjb</ejb-name>
               <jndi-name>remote/StockListEjb</jndi-name>
          </session>
          <entity>
               <ejb-name>StockEjb</ejb-name>
               <local-jndi-name>local/StockEjb</local-jndi-name>
          </entity>
     </enterprise-beans>
