In-Depth Information
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty(EJBContainer.MODULES, "mySessionBean");
EJBContainer ec = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(props);
To specify enterprise bean modules outside the virtual machine classpath, set
EJBCon-
tainer.MODULES
to a
java.io.File
object or an array of
File
objects. Each
File
object refers to an EJB JAR file, or a directory containing an expanded EJB JAR.
Properties props = new Properties();
File ejbJarFile = new File(...);
props.setProperty(EJBContainer.MODULES, ejbJarFile);
EJBContainer ec = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(props);
Looking Up Session Bean References
To look up session bean references in an application using the embedded container, use an
instance of
EJBContainer
to retrieve a
javax.naming.Context
object. Call the
EJBContainer.getContext
method to retrieve the
Context
object.
EJBContainer ec = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();
Context ctx = ec.getContext();
References to session beans can then be obtained using the portable JNDI syntax detailed
in “Portable JNDI Syntax” in
The Java EE 6 Tutorial: Basic Concepts
. For example, to
obtain a reference to
MySessionBean
, a local session bean with a no-interface view,
use the following code:
MySessionBean msb = (MySessionBean)
ctx.lookup("java:global/mySessionBean/MySessionBean");
Shutting Down the Enterprise Bean Container
From the client, call the
close
method of the instance of
EJBContainer
to shut down
the embedded container:
