[JBoss-user] JNDI Context question

[Matthew Hixson]

We currently have an EJB app that we've migrated from Resin.  We have a 
SessionLocator class that looks up all of the session beans and caches 
references to their local homes in a static initializer.  This worked 
great under Resin, but under JBoss this fails if the first call to 
SessionLocator is from a bean that does not declare an <ejb-local-ref> 
for all the other session beans and entity beans.

         <ejb-local-ref >
            <ejb-ref-name>Category</ejb-ref-name>
            <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
            
<local-home>com.company.ejb.entity.CategoryLocalHome</local-home>
            <local>com. company.ejb.entity.CategoryLocal</local>
            <ejb-link>Category</ejb-link>
         </ejb-local-ref>

I have added xdoclet tags to one of our SessionBeans so that the 
<ejb-local-ref> tags like that above get put into ejb-jar.xml.  This is 
just duct tape until I find a better solution.  The catch is that we 
have to hit a specific servlet before anything else, otherwise we get a 
NamingException that says:

10:59:21,852 ERROR [system] 
NamingExceptionjavax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Foo not bound

As far as I can tell I need to add <ejb-local-ref> tags to each of my 
session beans to declare what other beans it depends on.  Is there a 
reason for this?  It seemed that Resin made everything under com/env 
available to lookup.  I've never had to use the <ejb-local-ref> tag 
until now.  I'd rather not be troubled with doing that if I don't 
absolutely have to.
  Is there a way to configure JBoss to behave more like Resin in this 
regard?  Or is there any way around having to add <ejb-local-ref>s to 
all of my session beans?
