For EJBs that need to be looked up a lot within the server code, I code in
a static lookup() function in the implementation class. E.g. in
ContributionLogEntryBean:
/**Static convenience method for looking up ContributionLogEntry objects.*/
public static ContributionLogEntry lookup(int iKey) throws RemoteException
{
try
{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
String sHomeName =
EJBHelpers.getHomeInterfaceClassName(ContributionLogEntryHome.class);
ContributionLogEntryHome home =
(ContributionLogEntryHome)ctx.lookup(sHomeName);
return home.findByPrimaryKey(new ContributionLogEntryPK(iKey));
}
catch (FinderException e) {throw new RemoteException(null,e);}
catch (NamingException e) {throw new RemoteException(null,e);}
}
Then when the implementation of another bean needs to grab a
ContributionLogEntry it can just do ContributionLogEntryBean.lookup(). Note
that the use of a static helper here is perfectly valid - it's just
equivalent to inserting this code in the calling function.

Subject: Entity bean to Entity bean call
In the ejbCreate method of my entity bean (MemberBean) it needs to:
1) lookup another entity bean (another MemberBean) via a finder method
(findByLogin)
2) just the primary key back (can I do that? I don't need the whole
object)
Is there a standard way of doing that or do I need to call out to
getting initialcontext, lookup, etc.?
Thank you,
Joel Shellman
