Where am I going wrong...?

Hi all, using 4.0.4 GA and trying to get a simple stateless bean to work with no luck.

Got a feeling its something to do with descriptors.., or rather the lack of.

Heres the code:

package kate;

public interface test {
 public String getTest();
}


package kate;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class testBean implements test {

 public String getTest(){
 return "Bean has worked!";
 }
}


package kate;

import javax.ejb.EJB;
public class TestEJB {
 @EJB test bean;

 public String getTest(){
 String str = null;
 if(bean == null){
 str = "bean = -------------------------------------------------NULL";
 } else {
 str = "<--- (" + bean.getTest() + ") --->";
 }
 return str;
 }
}

Should this work? am I missing something?
Please help, been trying to get my head round EJB3 & 4.0.4 for 2 weeks now and Im still at this stage :-(

Your code will work only if TestEJB is also ejb, you can not inject (use @EJB) ejb refrence in classes which are not ejb's, to call ejb outside ejb container you schould write:

 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 test object = (test)ctx.lookup("testjarname/testBean/local");

replace testjarname with real your ear or jar name where bean is packed.

Download JEMS installer for JBoss AS 4.0.4 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=193295&release_id=424215
. This is correct version to test EJB3Trail.
