In principle, in EJB 3.0, you can access a bean from another bean by looking it up in the interface (local or remote). Here are two solutions for doing that:
- Through the JNDI, you still have the portability:
//get the default JNDI initial context
Context ctx=new InitialContext();
//get the bussiness interface
Object obj=ctx.lookup(BusinessInterface.class.getName());
//convert obj
BusinessInterface bi=(BusinessInterface)obj;
- Through the @EJB annotiation:
@EJB BusinessInterface bi; //cooool !
