Component.getInstance("MyRemote.class");

[notify]

I am confused as to whether it is best practice to use Component.getInstance(MyRemote.class) or just use JNDI lookup.

I have a Seam RESTful bean which needs to access one of my SF Session Beans.

@Name("restfulBean")
@Path("/restfulBean")
@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
public class RESTfulBean implements NOTiFYPiNPOiNTConstants, Serializable {

I can access the SFSB fine using;

final Context ic = getInitialContext();
o = ic.lookup("ejb/PostcardRemote");
postcardRemote = (PostcardRemote) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, PostcardRemote.class);

The calling the method;

@GET
@Path("/restfulByDomain/{domain}")
@Produces("application/xml")
public String getRESTfulByDomain(@PathParam("domain") String domain) {
     
    log.info(">>>>> getRESTfulByDomain domain = " + domain);
     
    postcardRemote.getPostCardsByDomain(domain);
          
    return "is this working?";
}

What is the correct/best way/method to access a SF or SL Session Bean from within a SEAM RESTful bean?

Thanks.
