Stateful Session Bean returns NULL value

[Kevin P Smith]

Hi

Wondering if you guys can help me, I have two Sevlets which make remote calls to a Stateful Session Bean to set/get a user's details.
The problem is, when I run the GET methods it returns a value of 'null'.

i am connecting to the Session bean using the following

Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.sun.enterprise.naming");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.state", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "localhost");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");
 
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(props);
IStoreUserDetailsRemote remote = (IStoreUserDetailsRemote) ic.lookup(sMappedName);
 
remote.setFname(fname);
&
remote.getFname();
 

The only thing I can think of, is when I run the Servlet with the GET call in it, because it's doing the above, it's maybe creating an new instance of the bean.

If so can anyone help me with a snippet example of how one Servlet can set values and another retieve them from a Stateful Session Bean?

Please!

Just for the record I worked it out!

It's exactly the same as storing a standard Bean in a HttpSession!

So daft!

Servlet 1
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("remote", remote);
remote.setFname(request.getParameter("fname"));
 
Servlet 2
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
IStoreUserDetailsRemote remote = (IStoreUserDetailsRemote)session.getAttribute("remote");
remote.getFname()
