Problem with jndi lookups for a local bean with interface hi

mrhightech Mar 9, 2006 4:11 PM

I have the following structure

@Stateless CustomerDAO extends BaseCustomerDAO implements CustomerDAOLocal
{}

public abstract class BaseCustomerDAO implements BaseCustomerDAOLocal
{}

@Local interface CustomerDAOLocal extends BaseCustomerDAOLocal
{}

@Local interface BaseCustomerDAOLocal
{}

Now... the lookup
I was under the impression

ctx.lookup("CustomerDAO/local") would bring me back an interface of type CustomerDAOLocal...

I get null even though the CustomerDAO is in the list of deployed ejbs...

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

why don't you use the dependency injection for local interfaces?
@EJB CustomerDAOLocal customerLocal;

This is pretty obvious. Somehow(!) I thought I had to do a lookup. I never realized I could just inject the reference. EJB3 is great.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Well... the suggestion was good, obviously.
But I DO have a need to lookup the bean directly.

Can anyone tell me what is the proper lookup using the classes described above ?

Thanks again

As a further precision, the lookup I am trying to do is within a stateless bean that is accessed remotely.

client ----> access bean (remote) -----> DAO (local)

Would that change anything ?

BTW, I DO see the CustomerDAO bean deployed with (local) in the JNDI bound beans list.

Thanks!
