The confusion is that there are many ways the @Remote/_at_Local annotations can be applied. In all cases there is still an interface that is distinct from the bean class. Typically when @Remote or @Local is specified on the bean class, its value attribute is specified to be the name of the interface.
@Remote(Cart.class)
@Stateless
public class CartBean { ... }
Technically, @Remote or @Local can be specified with no value on the bean class. This is rarely used but it's just a shorthand to say that the one interface in the implements clause should be considered either @Remote or @Local.
// One remote business interface : Cart
@Remote
@Stateless
public class CartBean implements Cart { ... }
// One local business interface : Cart
@Local
@Stateless
public class CartBean implements Cart { ... }

Yes, Cart is an interface but it's ambiguous from the code snippet whether it's a local or remote business interface.
