Lookup on SessionContext

[alex1234567890]

Hi,

is it possible to make a lookup on a SessionContext on a session bean?

I have the following stateless session bean:

Interface:
public interface IAttributeService

Implementation:
@Stateless
@Local( { IAttributeService.class })
@LocalBinding( jndiBinding = "IAttributeService-local" )
public class AttributeServiceImpl implements IAttributeService

Via the JNDIView On the JMX-console i get the following mapping:

IAttributeService-local
$Proxy147

I tried to make a lookup from another session bean:

@Resource
private SessionContext fContext;
...
IAttributeService attService = (IAttributeService) fContext.lookup( "IAttributeService-local" );

But always null is returned.
On jboss-4.0.3RC2 (EJB_3.0_RC1) it worked fine but now on jboss-4.0.4RC1 (EJB_3.0_RC5) it doesnt work anymore.

So must i use the InitialContext?

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
IAttributeService attService = (IAttributeService) ctx.lookup("IAttributeService-local");

If I use the initial context I get the AttributeService.

Why its not possible to make a lookup via the SessionContext?

This looks like a bug. I've opened a JIRA task: EJBTHREE-457

IMHO this is intended behaviour. EJBContext.lookup only sees the private namespace of the bean. You can not make global JNDI lookup with it. I know it used to work in RC3, but that was not correct IMHO.

Use @EJB to inject bean references or use the deployment descriptor.
