Accessing Local Enterprise Beans That Implement Business Interfaces

Client access to enterprise beans that implement local business interfaces is accomplished through either dependency injection or JNDI lookup.

• To obtain a reference to the local business interface of an enterprise bean through dependency injection, use the javax.ejb.EJB annotation and specify the enterprise bean’s local business interface name:

  @EJB
  Example example;

• To obtain a reference to a local business interface of an enterprise bean through JNDI lookup, use the javax.naming.InitialContext interface’s lookup method:

  ExampleLocal example = (ExampleLocal)
           InitialContext.lookup("java:module/ExampleLocal");
