How to access a Bean in From Separate EAR.

Hi Hello every one.

I am using WSAD 5.1.2 and EJB 2.1

I have a LoginSession session bean in

Shopping
ShoppingClient
ShoppingEAR

i want to access the session bean in my struts project.

WebWork
WebWorkEAR

How can I access the LoginSession bean in the ShoppingEAR from the Web Project?

I have done the same thing before but, before my LogginSession Bean was in the WebWorkEar.

Any Help will be of great help.

Thanks for your time.
Have a nice time.

You should be able to look up the bean's remote home interface and then call create() to create an instance of the bean.

Hi,

you need to have the EJB client classes(remote and homeRemote) on the client side, in your case the webapp that needs to use the EJB.

hi,
What Marcos, said above is exactly what you have to do. And you have to write your client code in your struts login Action class. Thats how you'd do a look up from the struts application.

Means the only thing we need is client.jar file, when we deploy a bean.

I would like to thank each one of you for taking time, I was able to solve the problem, from your hints.

Thanks,
Have a nice day and weekend.

Before you put it directly in your Action class, you should look at some best practices, which include using the ServiceLocator pattern to get access to your Beans, instead of tying(tightly coupling) EJB directly in your Struts code.
