Create Stateful Session Bean programmatically?

[mwx.dennis]

I need to conditionally create a Stateful Session Bean instance. Therefore I cannot use an @EJB annotation - I'm looking for a way to do it programmatically. Ideally, I'd like to say

MySfsbRemote newInstance = ???.create(MySfsbRemote.class);

How can I do this? I guess I cannot use

new MySfsb()

?

Hi,

why not performing a JNDI lookup?

InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
Object objLookup = initialContext.lookup ("earName/BeanName/remote");
MySfsbRemote newInstanc= (MySfsbRemote)objLookup;

If you use an application client, you will have to configure JNDI through "jndi.properties", but I hope that this gives you a basic idea.

Best regards

Wolfgang

Yeah, cool.
I had actually hoped to get it by type (in order to have a typesafe, refactoring-friendly lookup like with @EJB injection) but it's definitely a good solution.
Thanks very much!
