cannot find my bean using the InitialContext.lookup() method

Question

I have tried to use struts 1.3 API to make a small application with EJB 3.0. Unfortunatelly i cannot use the @EJB annotation to call my bean object from inside my action cla

Answer 1

@EJB won't work in a standard pojo it can only be done in a managed object (i.e. another session bean)

So...

Here's your bean

@Stateless(mappedName="beanName")
public class beanName implements beanNameRemote {

Here's your lookup

Context context = new InitialContext();  //default lookup pulls from jndi properties file
context.lookup("beanName");

You can do some further reading on the mappedName to see if you want to use it or not.
