How to get all session beans from JBoss server

[tbar0711]

Hi,

I'm using JBoss 4.2.3. At the moment I'm programming a short application. This application should locate all session beans in an deployed ear-file. Then I should be able to make a reflection to each session bean and find out which annotations it implements.

Currently I have the problem that I don't know how to get all the beans as classes without knowing the name of the beans. Perhaps it is possible to get all beans as classes to be able to make reflections and identify the session beans by analyzing their annotations?

Hope anybody can help.

Regards

Tom

I am not much familiar with how this can be done in JBoss AS 4.2.3. However, if you are willing to use JBoss AS 5.1.0, then we can point you to some of our EJB3 project code on how this can be done.

I'm very interested. It would be great to hear from you.

Thomas, sorry, this one is taking a bit of time. I can point you to multiple links spread across projects which probably won't make much sense. So i'm thinking of writing up a wiki with a small example which can atleast give you and others an idea of how you can use the EJB3 metadata through MC deployers. I'll post a link here, once that's done.

Thank you very much so far.
