How can i access ejb3.0 from backing bean in jboss 4.0.5 GA

How can i access EJB3.0 using jboss 4.0.5.
I know @EJB annotation won't work in 4.0.5. I am new to EJB's on the whole. Can someone please suggest me, how can i access ebj from web layer(backing bean in my case). Like how can i use JNDI lookup.

With JBoss 4.0.5 you have to use a JNDI lookup from the web layer.

Suppose you have:

@Local
public interface MyLocalIfc
{
 ...
}

and

@Stateless
public class MyLocalBean implements MyLocalIfc
{
 ...
}

Then try:

MyLocalIfc bean = (new InitialContext()).lookup("myEAR/MyLocalBean/local");

If you use Seam, you can make your backing beans EJB session beans themselves (ie: @Stateless), thus standard @EJB injection can be used.

Thank u Thank u so much :). It was a great help.
I used what you suggested and it worked
MyLocalIfc bean = (new InitialContext()).lookup("myEAR/MyremoteBean/remote");

replace myEAR with the name of my ear.

Thanks again.
