Hi, Why a session bean accessing an entity bean is a local call? In the session bean we have to do a JNDI lookup to access an entity bean and call the entity beans remote methods.
Because it isn't a local call. It's a remote one. EJB1.1 has no provision for accessing EJBs in the same container in a local manner. EJB2.0 does. You can treat an EJB in the same container as a local call providing your container supports EJB2.0.
