how to build complete J2EE application with portlet

[mico]

Hi,

I want to build a complete application J2EE with Portlet in add to Servlet.
The file that I mean is the following:

application.xml
ejbModule.jar
warModule.war

In the warModule.war I want insert for the moment only portlets that references ejbModule's EJBs .

Suppose that I have build the EJB UserEntity (name, surname, userId);

What consideration about deployment descriptors there are to have the following code in my UserPortlet


try {
UserEntityLocalHome userLocalHome = (UserEntityLocalHome) new InitialContext().lookup ("ejb/User");
}
catch (NamingException ne1) {
ne1.printStackTrace();
}

Portlets are identical to Servlets in this aspect, so whatever you'd do for a servlet in the same WAR (ejb-ref in web.xml) works for a portlet as well. The portlet uses the same code as the servlet to get to the ejb.
