Problem in calling single entity bean from other beans

Question

Hi,
I am implementing session facade with SUN's J2EE 1.3 deploy tool for JBoss server.
I have a entity bean UserBean which creates users in database ( create() )and tells if user exists or not ( findByPrimaryKey() ).
Initially, I had implemented UserBean with remote interfaces. So, any servlet ( my client ) which needed to use UserBean would make a remote call to it. It was used by 5 different servlets.
Now I am going for Local interfaces. So, I am packaging UserBean with other beans which need it.
Problem is, if I package UserBean with , say , ChatLogsBean ( Stateless bean ), it works fine. But when I package it with WebLogsBean ( Stateless bean ) also and deploy all beans together, JBoss gives error messages that instances of UserBean are already created.
How should structure my beans sothat I can avoid these duplication problem ?
Present flow is as follow:
Servlet Stateless Bean Other beans
ChatLogs Servlet --> ChatLogsWrapper --> ChatLogsBean ( Stateless bean ) & UserBean( Entity bean )
WebLogs servlet --> WebLogsWrapper --> WebLogsBean ( Stateless bean ) & UserBean
WordLogs servlet --> WordLogsWrapper --> WordLogsBean ( Stateless bean ) & UserBean
All servlets are packaged into corresponding WARs.
ChatLogsWrapper , ChatLogsBean ,UserBean are packaged into 'ChatWrapper' JAR.
WebLogsWrapper , WebLogsBean , UserBean are packaged into 'webWrapper' JAR
and similarly for WordLogs.
Any help ?

I suggest you post to one of the forums on jboss.org. There should not be a problem AFAIK having remote and local interfaces to the same EJB. I assume that you gave these unique names (FooHome/FooLocalHome..etc...) for the home and remote interfaces and declared both in the ejb DD.
