How to access a Singleton Session Bean

[foutjo]

I have a EJB Singleton Session bean that I want to access from a java program.

The java program is called from an EJB Session bean.

I tried use the injection @EJB annotation but this did not work.  The Singleton Session

bean object was null.

I tried useing the EJBContainer object to get a context but this blew up.  (see below)

   final Context context = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer().getContext();/

   MySessionBean mbean = (MySessionBean) context.lookup("java:global/MySessionBean");

Could one of you JBoss experts please tell me how I can access an EJB Singleton session bean from a java program

that is called from an EJB Session bean?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If the class you are in is not by itself an EJB you will have to use a JNDI lookup.

  Context context = new InitialContext();

  MySessionBean mbean = (MySessionBean) context.lookup("java:global/MySessionBean");

Make sure that JBoss published the EJB under the name you use.

EJB Singleton session bean from a java program

If you by any chance mean an external Java program, running outside of the JBoss AS' JVM, then you will need to employ an EJB client to connect to the AS and call methods remotely. Of course, injection will not work in this case and you will have to manually perform a lookup.
