ENC

[Nikhil Jain]

Hi,

Why do one has to register itself in ENC in order to access other EJBs. I mean when you deploy an EJB, does'nt it get automatically registered in the JNDI. I mean when I deploy Stateless Session Bean, It gets registered with the JNDI. So we could access it through JNDI. Then Why do we have to register in ENC for using EJB in other EJBs?

Hi Shashank,

Every EJB has it own Entreprise Naming Context.
It's a registry JNDI but it's not the global JNDI registry of the application server.

If you want an EJB A to use an EJB B, you've got to reference B in the JNDI ENC of A.
This can be done either with annotation (@javax.ejb.EJB) or XML-DD (<ejb-ref> .

Hope it helps,

Yeah, But could'nt I refer to other EJBs throught global JNDI. When we deploy an EJB, it gets registered in the global JNDI. Right?

Is there any difference in JNDI & EJB's ENC?
