Unfortunately, EJB doesn't really have a shortcut -- you need to
repeat that block for each reference for each session bean.  The best
approach to avoid it might be code generation (like XDoclet).

Hi all,

In my session beans I need to lookup the local home interface of some other
entity beans. I have added the following paragraph to ejb-jar.xml of the
session beans:

<ejb-local-ref>
  <ejb-ref-name>JNDI_NAME</ejb-ref-name>
  <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
  <local-home>myprog.SomeEntityLocalHome</local-home>
  <local> myprog.SomeEntityLocal</local>
  <ejb-link>SomeEntity</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>

If I have to lookup about 40+ beans in this session, do I need to repeat the
above paragraph for 40+ times? Or is there any shortcut to place all the
beans to a wider scope?

Thanks,
Kevin
