Using servlets with EJB

[Vipul Shinde]

Hi,
Can any one tell me how can I use a EJB(Entity/Session) in a servelt.

If I want to use it in any of request methods i.e. doGet , doPost how should I work with it ?

Have you worked with EJBs before? If yes then the answer would be to use them in the same way. (Look up the Home, create a bean etc..). If you haven't, the question is related to EJBs and not to servlets and you might consider going through some EJB tutorials and use the EJB forum if you have any doubts.

Your servlet would need to act as a client to the EJB.

Briefly, it would need to use JNDI to locate the EJB, then use the EJB's Home interface to create an EJB bean instance before invoking methods on that instance via the EJB's Remote instance.
