Hello ! I have trouble figuring out how to access an EJB from a remote Swing/SE Client running on a different machine. I tried the example in the official tutorial, but its somewhat unclear.

I assume, that i need the Business Interface of the EJB on the client side as well ?

A little example would be awesome

Thank you

Yes you need the remote business interface on the client side.

put "gf-client.jar" in your classpath, then access the bean using JNDI lookup.

Client App

Remote interface


then access the bean using JNDI lookup

Remote interface and bean implementation class should be in "ejb-app" application.

remember put gf-client.jar in your client-app classpath (im using glassfish server for my ejb-app)

Thank you very much, that was exactly what i was looking for.

So this can be very server specific ? or is it always some kind of Jar, like for JBoss ?

I also use Glassfish, but im curious

other containers have corresponding client.jar, like for jboss you use the jbossall-client.jar in client applications for JNDI lookups
