There is a good description of what you want to do in an IBM Redbook titled "Design and Implement Servlets, JSPs, and EJBs for IBM WebSphere Application Server" (SG24-5754-00, August 2000). You can probably download the PDF from IBM's Redbooks web site. The techniques aren't specific to WebSphere. There is a patterns for a Targetable Commands, which it sounds like you're talking about. There is also a good description with code samples of using the facade pattern with session beans and the command pattern, which also sounds like what you want to do. It doesn't have anything about Struts, but maybe by looking at it you'll get some ideas. It's only 178 pages. Bill Hines Hershey Foods -----Original Message----- From: G.L. Grobe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 3:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Actions and Session Beans I've finally got struts taglibs and a few Actions working in my jsp pages, but I'd like to be able to populate some EJB's with the model data from the ActionForms. I'm not sure how to do this. I've got a session bean which operates on an entity bean which I will then send to another machines java app, but I'm not sure how to implement the session bean in my Action. Anyone know of examples or where I may find some refs on doing this?
