To access an EJB component from a server-side module

A server-side module can be a servlet, another EJB component, or another type of module.

1. In your module code, instantiate the InitialContext:

   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

   It is not necessary to explicitly instantiate a naming context that points to the CosNaming service.

2. In the module code, look up the home object by specifying the JNDI name of the home object. For example:

   Object ref = ctx.lookup("jndi-name");
   BeanAHome = (BeanAHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,BeanAHome.class);

   For more information about naming and lookups, see Accessing the Naming Context.

3. Deploy the EJB component to be accessed.

   For more information on deployment, see Tools for Deployment.

4. To access EJB components that are residing in a remote system, set the values for the Java Virtual Machine startup options:

   jvmarg value = "-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=${ORBhost}"jvmarg value = "-Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=${ORBport}"

   Here ORBhost is the Application Server hostname and ORBport is the ORB port number (default is 3700).

   This information can be obtained from the domain.xml file on the remote system. For more information on domain.xml file, see the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Administration Reference.

5. Deploy the module.
