Seam and EJB

[darkopetreski]

Hi All,

I need to build web application that uses distributed EJB components. They will be shared for web services, desktop application and also web.

I like to use Seam for web presentation, but Seam uses ejbs with seam annotation.
Can ejb beans from seam be also called from desktop application (because seam annotation) ?
Can external ejb project be included in seam (I know that you can call external beans with InitialContext but that is not very hansom)

Conclusion: I like the business logic to be seam independent, and to be also used from desktop and possible other presentation layer.

The main question is:
What is the best way to do this?

Regards

EJBs remain EJBs and Seam just attaches itself to them. So no problem with that. If you can edit sources of that external ejb project just put @Name annotations on beans and seam.properties (can be empty) file in META-INF of ejb jar.
If you do not like annotations or cannot edit sources, just use components.xml to turn EJBs into Seam managed components.
