can MBean invoke EJB method ?

[sharetop]

Can I invoke a EJB's method from MBean ?

I want received some Tibco RV's message, so I don't use the JMS. If I can invoke EJB, then I may use MBean instead of MDB? Is it idea right?

thank you.

Yes. I was checking it out as well, and the following worked, effectively passing a value from the MBean to the EJB, i.e. as a means of manually calling an EJB method. I have ordered the JMX book, so I might find out that there are more efficient ways of doing this.
===========================
public void setFileName(String fileName) throws Exception {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ctx
.lookup("ejb/com.activiti.jmx.ejb.TestReader");
TestReaderHome testReaderHome = (TestReaderHome) PortableRemoteObject
.narrow(obj, TestReaderHome.class);
TestReader testReader = testReaderHome.create();
testReader.setFileName(fileName);
} catch (Exception e) {
cat.error(e);
throw e;
}
}
===============================

i don't think there are more efficient ways to go about this (at the moment anyway) but hope you enjoy the book nevertheless
