Dependency injection of remote bean

[aleksander.lech]

I am in the middle of creating design of a system that probably is to be deployed to few separate machines. I would have a following scenario then: a session bean A is on machine1, session bean B is on machine2. Bean A needs a reference to bean B. The question: is this possible to do this through dependency injection? or I have to manually setup a jndi xontext and lookup the bean B there?

Regards,
Alex

Some sort of JNDI lookup is needed. If you are talking about JEE components this can be handled for you via the injection annotations; e.g. @EJB.

Only JEE components. I am now developing the code for one machine using injection @EJB that you mentioned and just wondered if there would be required any code changes if we spread this beans into seperate machines.

If I understeand well we can easili spread every EJB to seperate machine and all we have to do is introduce apprioprate deployment descriptors. Am I right?
