[JBoss-user] Looking up a certain StateFul Session Bean

[Kris Philippaerts]

Hi!   I'm working on a project with a certain number of Enterprise Beans that are all connected to perform one 'giant' operation. The problem I encountered was that a specific StateFul session bean had to be called from more than one other bean/application. The interconnection between the stateful session bean and the application that created this bean is no problem. But the problem situates itself in the interconnection between the stateful session bean and an other (stateless session) bean. Since every stateful session bean is unique, I need to be able to search for the stateful session bean, not only on the type (... jndiContext.lookup(String type) ...) but also on the name (... create(String name) ...) of this unique bean.   Is there a method, such as lookup(), to do this? Or is this just not possible?   Thank you very much!   Kris Philippaerts
