Writting ejb3 session bean + howto session bean lookup?

[fbadt]

There is a web service (stateless session bean with annotations) that needs to call another session bean with annotations.

1. do ejb3 session beans need to have local/remote interfaces like ejb1.4?
2. how can sessionbean1 lookup sessionbean2? The below code results in an exception that sessionbean2 is not registered. The logs and JMX console say that sessionbean2 was published with name=sessionbean2 This is jboss 4.0.4

 try {
 context = new InitialContext();
 retVal = (sessionbean2LocalInterface)
 context.lookup("sessionbean2");
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 throw new RuntimeException(e);
 }

If your SessionBean2 implements (for example) remote interface SessionBean2Remote, than in SessionBean1 you can write:

@EJB
SessionBean2Remote bean2;

public void doSmth() {
 bean2.soSmth2();
}

it will be injected automatically.

Take a look at the tutorial: http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/injection/injection.html

Hmm what role does code like below play? I do not see anywhere that JBoss is reporting something with these names (specifically the '/local' and '/remote') Also, in the case of injecting a remote, how can the specific host, server etc... be specified?

http://www.laliluna.de/ejb-3-tutorial-jboss.html

 public static final String RemoteJNDIName = BookTestBean.class.getSimpleName() + "/remote";
 public static final String LocalJNDIName = BookTestBean.class.getSimpleName() + "/local";

So when is the name BookTestBean.class.getSimpleName() + "/remote" vs "BookTestBean" vs "com......BookTestBean"?

I have seen docs that refer to all of these ways.
