How to access an EJB (3.0) in Jboss from a Client in WebSphe

[websphere_lover]

I want to access a simple EJB (3.0 SLSB), which is deployed in JBoss 4.
Client is a Web-Application, that runs under WebSphere ApplicationServer V5 which uses JDK 1.3.

Can anyone give me some hints ?

Or is it no problem ?? (generating stubs, Annotations, ....)

Thx.

Hi,

You need something like this;

Properties p = new Properties( );
//Specify the JNDI properties specific to the vendor.
p.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
p.put("java.naming.provider.url","jboss_host_name");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);

Object ref = context.lookup("path_to_ejb_in_jndi");
BeanRemoteInterface bean = (BeanRemoteInterface)
 PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,BeanRemoteInterface.class);

And you will need the remote interface on your classpath and the jboss client lib.
