Ubaldo,
The <jsp:useBean ... > tag in JSP 1.0 is not intended to abstract
the construction/initialization of an EJB, it is intended to be used in
conjection with plain JavaBeans. Better EJB support is under investigation
for JSP 1.1.
FOr now, I would encourage you to build JavaBean "proxies" to EJB's that
encapsulate their creation and expose their API, then you can use the
usebean tag to include them in your pages.

P.S
I'm afraid that processRequest() is out .... having said that one
could easily simulate/replace it with:
<jsp:setProperty name="fooBean" property="pageContext" value="<%= pageContext
%>" />
or:
<% fooBean.processRequest(pageContext); %>
Although you should not take this as an "official" endorsement of this pattern!
