I am pretty new to seam framework but have 3 years experience with previous 
versions of EJB. Our project is using seam to generate codes for a web 
application to access backend database. It works pretty good. However, I have 
the need to access the same database in standalone Java applications outside of 
Jboss virtual machine. When I looked at the seam-generated code, I am lost and 
need help. 

First how to look up session bean in my Java application? I can not find the 
ejb-jar.xml so I do not know what is the jndi name used for the generated 
beans. Second, I do not know how to call those generated beans. For example, I 
have a table called Host in a test database, the table is simple with id, 
hostname, and connect_time. Use seam setup, seam new-project, seam 
generate-entities, and seam explode, seam framework did almost everything for 
me. It generates two java files in the action folder. Here is the code: in 
HostList.java

@Name("hostList")
  | public class HostList extends EntityQuery {
  | 
  |     private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = {"lower(host.hostname) 
like concat(lower(#{hostList.host.hostname}),'%')",};
  | 
  |     private Host host = new Host();
  | 
  |     @Override
  |     public String getEjbql() {
  |             return "select host from Host host";
  |     }
  | 
  |     @Override
  |     public Integer getMaxResults() {
  |             return 25;
  |     }
  | 
  |     public Host getHost() {
  |             return host;
  |     }
  | 
  |     @Override
  |     public List<String> getRestrictions() {
  |             return Arrays.asList(RESTRICTIONS);
  |     }
  | 
  | }

in HostHome.java

@Name("hostHome")
  | public class HostHome extends EntityHome<Host> {
  | 
  |     public void setHostId(Integer id) {
  |             setId(id);
  |     }
  | 
  |     public Integer getHostId() {
  |             return (Integer) getId();
  |     }
  | 
  |     @Override
  |     protected Host createInstance() {
  |             Host host = new Host();
  |             return host;
  |     }
  | 
  |     public void wire() {
  |     }
  | 
  |     public boolean isWired() {
  |             return true;
  |     }
  | 
  |     public Host getDefinedInstance() {
  |             return isIdDefined() ? getInstance() : null;
  |     }
  | 
  | }

By looking at the code, I am lost at how I should call the bean to make select, 
update, delete, and insert operations.

Would anyone give me some help or point me to some documents or tutorials? 
Thanks a lot.
