I am writing something like this in my session bean, but PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService() cannot find any print service.
When I write the code separately in the
java file, it can get all the print service. So I guess it has to do with the
ejb container.
Can I use javax.print or java.awt api in ejb?
Thanks & Regards
