Did you get the same error as before when you added @LocalBean?
@LocalBean
public class A implements B {}
is supposed to work fine. If the B interface is not itself annotated with @Local it should just be ignored w.r.t. determining the client views exposed by the bean. Otherwise, the bean would just expose both a B local interface view and a no-interface view.
