Why are you putting administration ejb and war into separate ear? You can put multiple wars and ejb modules into the single ear then you would be able to use local interfaces.
If you realy want to pass entity beans with many to * relations through remote interface you have to be carefull. In my opinion you are missing DTOs (even if adam bien says you don't).
