I didn't mean for my question to be Weblogic-specific. What I was
trying to figure out, simply, was how does a client app determine the
hostname and port number of the ejb server so it can locate it on the
network. I would assume that is on-topic for this list, but since I
used your example with Weblogic to illustrate the question, a list cop
decided to take issue with my post. (I put your name in the subject
line because I assumed you read this list and I thought it might catch
your eye and prompt a response from you. :)
Someone else sent me (off-list) a pointer to the sample code you
reference below, and I was able to use that to rewrite your example so
the hostname and port number are passed in as command line parameters.
Overall, I still think your book is one of the better EJB books on the
market at the moment. I spent about 45 minutes at Borders flipping
through about a half-dozen before I selected yours.
