Unfortunately there's no guarantee that the verifier will be able to detect all possible incorrect
applications. It has thousands of tests and is a good tool for quickly identifying some of the
most common issues but just because the verifier doesn't find a problem doesn't mean the
application is portable or will work as you would like.
Regarding your second question, if your web application only has a dependency on a particular
bean, there is no reason it should fail due to a dependency on some other bean.
As for local access, as long as two ejbs are in the same .ear they can access each other's
local interface.
