Hi,
I posted a similar question yesterday..got a reply also.
But is it possible to use <ejb-ref> and invoke method of a
EJB on a diffrent machine, if the Bean assembler is not specifying any <ejb-link> in the <ejb-ref>.
In the spec, it is mentioned that it is the resposibilty if the deployer to map the EJB in the <ejb-ref> with the actual JNDI name, possibly by using the LinkRef functionlity of JNDI.
When i go to the JNDI API, LinkRef is a sub class of javax.naming.Refrence.
Now javax.naming.Refrence is there for providing link to a external JNDI.
So if it is possible for the deployer to use this LinkRef and link a EJB on one machine to a EJB on other machine, then Why the standard deplytool of j2ee RE server is not having this facility??
