When they're both hosted in the same application, rather than in two
separate applications on the same server?
I'm pretty sure that's been covered elsewhere on the list (or am I reading
you wrong?), but anyway..
If I have two beans hosted in the same application (call them Caller and
Receiver), and I wanted one to talk to the other, I'd specify Caller in my
ejb-jar.xml file as follows
<session>
<ejb-name>Caller</ejb-name>
<home>net.aig.cma.CallerHome</home>
<remote>net.aig.cma.Caller</remote>
<ejb-class>net.aig.cma.CallerEJB</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Receiver</ejb-ref-name
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<home>net.aig.cma.ReceiverHome</home>
<remote>net.aig.cma.Receiver</remote>
</ejb-ref>
</session>
then lookup a reference to it using the code in my original post.
Back to my query, has anyone managed to get two beans in separate
applications (whether on the same server, or not) talking to each other?
