In all of my beans I lookup a home by accessing new InitialContext().lookup() API from the setEntityContext API on my CMP. After converting to Orion 2.0.2 I now get IllegalStateException. This worked in Orion 1.5.3. Looking at the ejb 2.0 spec section 10.5.5 table 4, java:comp/env access should be allowed. I should be able to lookup a home for another bean in setEntityContext.
Section 12.1.4.1 also states that "The instance can take advantage of the setEntityContext() method to allocate any resources that are to be held by the instance for its lifetime."
Here is the exception I get:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not access other EJBs from within setEntityContext(...) at com.evermind._cob.lookup(.:22) at com.evermind._au._rt(.:129) at com.evermind._au.lookup(.:62) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:345) at com.standardset.ejb.common.util.LocalHomeFinder.getHome(LocalHomeFinder.java:33)

The SPEC is quite vague about this point. They mention that one can access java:comp/env, but does not say anything about EJB Access. Does anyone have a more definitive answer? Can I lookup a Home interface inside setEntityContext/setSessionContext?
I tried to open a bug to Orion, but they closed it stating that their implementation is to the spec.
Thanks.
