Common access method for homes...

[Alex Paransky]

I am trying to create a class than can be used to access the home of a
particular bean.  For example, if I have an EJB called UserEntity, I would
create a special class called UserEntityHomeFinder which can be used to
easily obtain a home:

public class UserEntityHomeFinder {
  private static final HomeFinder
    homeFinder =
        new HomeFinder("com.indnet.model.User", UserEntityHome.class);

  public static UserEntityHome getHome() throws NamingException {
    return
      (UserEntityHome) homeFinder.getHome();
  }
};

As you can see, this class defines the name of the home interface.  I used
to use java:comp/env, however, the exception I got was that java:comp/env
was not available from a standalone client application.

So my question is this, is there a way to setup the naming conventions, so
that the CLIENT and SERVER can use uniform naming conventions to access the
homes of the bean?

Thanks.
