Greg,
It depends on the EJB server you are using. Each vendor provides context
factory objects that perform component lookups. The property settings depend
on the server you are using.
<vendor>
For example in GemStone/J the property settings are something like:
StockService_Interface=invest.StockServiceHome
SystemName=gsj32
HomePath=Systems/gsj32/Repository/Applications/Stock/Homes
com.gemstone.naming.NameServiceSSLPort=10199
java.naming.factory.initial=com.gemstone.naming.EJBCtxFactory
com.gemstone.naming.NameServicePort=10200
Stock_Interface=invest.StockHome
com.gemstone.naming.NameServiceHost=raberlx_lap
ReposHomePath=Applications/Stock/Homes
NameServiceHost/NameServicePort are the properties of interest that you are
asking about.
When you deploy a bean to GemStone/J, a "client jar" file is calulated,
including a resource with the above property settings setup for you. So the
code for the client looks something like this (contents of
StockProperties.txt):
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/StockProperties.txt"));
Context aContext = new InitialContext(p);
String homePath = p.getProperty("HomePath") +
"/StockService";
home = (StockServiceHome) aContext.lookup(homePath);
StockProperties.txt is the resource that's put into the client jar along
with interfaces and stub needed by the client.
This way you can avoid putting all those hard coded property settings in
your code. Even if the J2EE server you are using does not set up client jars
and resources for you in this manner, you could adopt the style and keep the
client code clean.
</vendor>
