Separate ejb jar and war file, how to do jndi lookup

[damonchong]

Hi,

I am trying to perform a jndi lookup of a stateless session bean (which is deployed separately in a ejb jar file) from a web application. I can do a normal JNDI as below:

 try{
 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 cacheSession = (SessionCache) ctx.lookup("SessionCacheSLB/local");
 }
 catch(Exception e){
 e.printStackTrace();
 }

But I wonder if I can instead do something like

@JndiLookup("SessionCacheSLB/local")
SessionCache mySession;

That would really make my day! ;-)

And congrats to the JBoss Seam team for the launch of version 2.0 GA!

If you are using a container which supports Servlet 2.5 then you can use annotations to inject objects - I found http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2006/jw-0102-servlet.html
