If you're using taglibs, the best way is to use the library that comes with
Orion called ejbtags.jar
Then within your jsp you do:
<%@ taglib uri="../ejbtags.jar" prefix="ejb" %>
<ejb:home id="myhome" type="com.ejb.myejbhome.class"
location="java:comp/env/my/ejbs/location" />
Then within your page you can do things like <% myhome.create(blah); %>
Also useful when combined with the iterate tag from the util library.
<util:iterate id="mybean" type="com.ejb.myejbbean.class" collection="<%=
myhome.findAll %>">
<%= mybean.getName() %>
</util:iterate>
Hope this helps,
