BarBean is an EJB component. To look up a reference to a different Local EJB component from any non-managed class (POJO, utility class, etc.) that is called from a business method of BarBean, you would do the following :
@EJB(name="fooejbref", beanInterface=FooLocal.class)
@Stateless
public class BarBean implements BarLocal {
public void bar() {
Util util = new Util();
util.foo();
}
}
public class Util {
public void foo() {
FooLocal fooLocal = (FooLocal) new InitialContext("java:comp/env/fooejbref");
}
}
The portion of the lookup string after "java:comp/env/" matches the "name" attribute of @EJB.
@EJB defines the ejb dependency so that it's available when the utility code does a lookup
from the context of a BarBean invocation. This @EJB is equivalent to defining an ejb-local-ref within the BarBean section of ejb-jar.xml.
