Hi Riaz,
I believe we only inject EJBs into servlets if both the EJBs and the
Servlets are in the same application - i.e. your EJBs are inside your .war
file (like the ejb-examples webapp in our examples), your EJB jar is in
WEB-INF/lib (as you've discovered), or if you package your EJB jar and .war
file together in an EAR file.
If your EJBs are deployed separately to your web app, I don't think the
deployer will be able to figure out where your EJBs are to inject them into
the servlet.
I guess you might be able to add some ejb-refs to your web.xml that
reference another ejb-jar. I'm thinking along the lines of
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>com.foo.shapes.SquareBean/orangeRemote</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-link>colorsApp.jar#OrangeBean</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>
from http://openejb.apache.org/3.0/ejb-refs.html
I'm only thinking out loud though - I've never tried it. Personally I'd
stick with either your current approach or building an EAR file.
Hope that's some help.
Jon
