    Invoke remote method without remote interface

      Hi everybody,

      I've been struggling for the last 2 days trying to find out how to invoke a remote method of an EJB without having the remote interface on the client.

      For example, is it possible to do something like this?:

      Object obj = ctx.lookup("myEjb");
      obj.invoke(methodName,.....,....)

      Thanks a lot.

          My understanding is no. You never directly call a particular EJB instance but rather get access to a Proxy interface (local or remote) which allows the container to manage the invocation.

          Why do you want do this? Why not just define a remote interface?

            Of course the idea is to access the EJB through it's proxy but without having to know at compile time which EJB remote Interface I am going to use.

            The problem is that I don´t know at compile time the EJB that's gonna be remotely accessed. The program will know the EJB JNDI name and method name to be executed at runtime
