Thanks Jim.
 
Anyway, what's the specific sintax for declaring a remote location to find an EJB within orion-web.xml. I guess it might be the "location" attribute in the ejb-mapping tag with an external jndi reference. It is posible ?

If you search the archives you will find my writup on this. It is not possible from within an Orion J2EE container (either web or ejb). Not only that, it is not possible to call EJBs in another instance of the same application (that is, more than one other REMOTE instance - you can call ONE other remote instance using the orion specific configuration) from within an Orion J2EE container.
 
This is a severe limitation and one that will need to be addressed if Orion hopes to be ejb 1.3 compliant.
 
There is a hack that MIGHT work if there are no circular dependencies between your EARs. You can have one application be a parent of another, and a third application be the parent of the first parent. We started experimenting with this when we decieded that it was too restrictive and we went with another J2EE imlpementation. I'm hoping that Orion fixes this problem because all in all if they fix their JNDI issues (which is the source of this problem) it's not a poor quality server.

Subject: EJB Sharing between applications

Hello everyone.
 I'm testing orion for use in a variety of applications. Our software company have developed many J2EE components in the form of diferents applications (diferents EAR files) that interact with each other throught its EJB and JSP pages.
 
Reading the document at http://www.orionserver.com/docs/remote-access/remote-access.xml I see that one application can only use funcionality from only one other application (a parent application defined in server.xml). We need to use services from EJB's in many other applications.
 
I think there must be another way to share EJB's functionality between applications (without going throught network layer, i hope).
 
Please, any directions will be welcome
 
Thanks in advance.
