/**
 * The remote interface of the server side test runner. The EJBTestClient calls
 * run with the names of the test class and test method to execute. Then run
 * calls setUpEJB, runTestCase, and tearDownEJB in sepperate transactions. In
 * order for the the tests to run as expected by the client the EJBTestRunner
 * bean must be setup exactly as follows in the ejb-jar.xml file:
 * <pre>
 * <?xml version="1.0"?>
 * <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC 
 *       "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN"
 *       "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
 * <ejb-jar>
 *    <enterprise-beans>
 *       <session>
 *          <description>JUnit Session Bean Test Runner</description>
 *          <ejb-name>EJBTestRunnerEJB</ejb-name>

 *
 * Additionally, the home interface must be bount to the jndi name:
 * "ejb/EJBTestRunner"
 *
 * It is recomended that the test classes and the classes of JUnitEJB be 
 * packaged into a single jar.
