    Session bean using another session bean...

    erikengerd2

      Hi,


      I am deploying a stateful session bean which uses another stateless session bean on JBoss 3.2.1 and I am wondering whether the behavior of JBoss is correct.

      In my stateful session bean I simply lookup the stateless session bean using the generated utility class by XDoclet and then simply use it. This works on JBoss 3.2.1.

      In the examples I have seen, people add an <ejb-refs> section to the ejb-jar.xml file to make this happen and then use the JNDI name defined there.

      Am I correct in assuming that the behavior of JBoss 3.2.1 is correct but that the <ejb-refs> section provides (yet) another level of indirection to insure component independence? Is it required by the J2EE spec to do it in this way?

      Cheers
      Erik
