Doubt in bean lookup!

[yuvaraj KumarAmudhan]

Hello all,
I need to access the bean from the servlet. So, i have something like, (copied from a web site)

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                                          Object [b]objref[/b] = ctx.lookup("ejb/test/MyTestSessionBean");
                                          testSessionBean = (MyTestSessionHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,    MyTestSessionHome.class);

ejb-jar has something like,

 <ejb-name>test/MyTestSession</ejb-name>
                                                    <home>test.session.MyTestSessionHome</home>
                                                    <remote>test.session.MyTestSession</remote>
                                                    <ejb-class>test.session.MyTestSessionBean</ejb-class>

When i look up an reference from the JNDI, it returns what?

I need to know here 'objref' is reference of which object?

[Ram Narayan.M]

objref refers to the HomeObject Stub implementing Home Interface MyTestSessionHome returned by the EJB Container to its client...

Thank you Ram!

It the container returns 'HomeObjectStub' only, then only this statement is not enough in ejb-jar.xml?

<home>test.session.MyTestSessionHome</home>

why we specify these things,

<remote>test.session.MyTestSession</remote>
                                                                <ejb-class>test.session.MyTestSessionBean</ejb-class>

1. 'HomeObjectStub' will be created by the container and it will be returned to the client?
2. Already 'HomeObjectStub' should be registered with the JNDI service?

Please give answers for these 3.

Thank You again for your reply Ram.

By looking at the ejb specification you can get the answers to those whatever you asked.

Coming to the access issue, It not a big task. You will be able to find it searching in google.

Let me know if any issues on that part.

Thank you All! Doubt cleared!
