If a bean Foo wants to talk to bean Bar, how do Foo acquire the Home to
Bar? Normally you would do JNDI lookups, and EJB 1.1 introduces a local
namespace that can be used to bind these kinds of links into. Hence Foo
could be able to get Bar's home by calling new
InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Bar"). A EJB-reference is
information about what the name should be ("ejb/Bar" in this case), and
what it should be bound to (Bar's home in this case).
