This example answers a simpler but related question:
How to refer to an EJB (remote) deployed as an ejb jar (or ear) from
another web application?
The EJB -
@Stateless(name="MyEJB") //JNDI name will be java:comp/env/MyEJB
@RemoteHome(javax.management.j2ee.ManagementHome.class)
public class MEJB .........
}
This ejb is packaged in a jar named myejb-2.1.jar and deployed as
org.myorg/myremoteejb/2.1/car (this name comes from openejb-jar.xml).
The web.xml contains usual stuff.
To look up this ejb from another application, e.g. a web application do
the following in geronimo-web.xml -
1. declare a dependency on org.myorg/myremoteejb/2.1/car
2. Add a ejb-ref as shown below -
<ejb-ref>
<ref-name>MyEJB</ref-name> <!-- currently this must be
same as the name in @Stateless -->
<nam:pattern
xmlns:nam="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2";>
<nam:artifactId>myremoteejb</nam:artifactId>
<nam:name>MyEJB</nam:name>
</nam:pattern>
</ejb-ref>
3. Lookup using ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/MyEJB")
This ejb can be looked up from a java client using
ctx.lookup("myremoteejb/MyEJB/javax.management.j2ee.ManagementHome").
this name can be found in <geronimo-Hone>/var/geronimo.log.
