I'm using a remote bean from a servlet to make a remote call. The code snippet below works. But I'm wondering is it possible to inject this bean without needing to do the remote JNDI lookup.

When using JMS I setup a RemoteJMSProvider and can inject both the connection factory and destination queue from a servlet (I'm using the web 2.5 spec).

Is something similar possible with EJB's? Or am I stuck with the JNDI lookup code. Maybe some kind of mbean provider where I can specify the remote machine IP?

Cheers,

Ross

P.S. I've commented out the @EJB annotation as it does nothing.

//@EJB
private MyTestBeanRemote remoteBean;

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

 try {
 Properties properties = new Properties();
 properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,
 "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
 properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://172.16.8.52:1099");

 Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
 remoteBean = (MyTestBeanRemote) ctx.lookup("TestEAR/MyTestBeanRemote/remote");


 } catch (Exception ex) {
 System.out.println("Could not create bean. "+
 ex.getMessage());
 }

 if (remoteBean != null) remoteBean.doSomething();
}
