Getting EJB from jsp in different container

[inglass]

Anyone know the right way to get EJB objects from an EJB container on another machine? I have tried creating the hashtable of props for client jndi, and that seems to help. But every time I try to access an EJB, it tells me XXX not bound. In my web-inf/web.xml, I have:

<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/MyEJB</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
myPackage.MyHome
myPackage.MyRemote
</ejb-ref>

Trying to use Resin for web tier and JBoss for mid tier and having no luck getting EJB references.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I've never tried this, but my guess is that you would need to modify jndi.properties on the web server machine to point to the server with the EJBContainer on, and to create ejb-ref entries in the jboss-web.xml in your web application.

From a performance perspective what you're doing will cause a 10-1000 times slowdown over tomcat (not because of resin but because you'll be operating against a non-integrated web tier and thus pass-by-value is 10-1000 times slower). However, I'm assuming that you've evaluated that and feel it is worth it for whatever reason. Therefore, you just need a jndi.properties in your classpath.

thanks.If I use Tomcat for WEB tier,I can get EJB object from an EJB container successfully. Otherwise,use Resin for WEB tier,can't get EJB object from an EJB container .
