Bean reference with <ejb-link>

[rudi]

I have a session bean in one jar file which uses an entity bean in another jar file. Now I have the problem that I don't know how to define the reference in the <ejb-link> tag in the ejb-jar.xml file of the session bean that I can use the entity bean.

Here is the code snippet which I used in the ejb-jar.xml file of my session bean. When i deploy the session bean I always get the message: "Can't find the entity bean in this application". Does anybody know what's wrong.

<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>test/TestEntityHome</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
test.EntityHome
test.Entity
<ejb-link>entity.jar#EntityEJB</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>

There is no ejb-link. You leave it out. In the jboss.xml file, you create a mapping like so:


<ejb-name>test/TestEntityHome</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>myApplication/TestEntityHome</jndi-name>


You only use ejb-link when the target bean (bean being referenced) is in the same jar file as the source bean (bean using the reference).
