package ejb3.bean;
import javax.ejb.LocalBean;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless(mappedName = "HelloEjb")
@LocalBean
public class HelloEjb implements HelloEjbRemote, HelloEjbLocal {
public HelloEjb() {
}
public String printHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
}
package ejb3.bean;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface HelloEjbRemote {
String printHello(String name);
}
package ejb3.bean;
import javax.ejb.Local;
@Local
public interface HelloEjbLocal {
String printHello(String name);
}
The LocalBean means a no-interface view .
This is what I find in JNDI tree:
Binding Name: HelloEjb#ejb3.bean.HelloEjbRemote (this is from @Remote)
Class: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy208
Binding Name: java:global.PVHelloEJBEAR.PVHelloEJB.HelloEjb!ejb3.bean.HelloEjb (this is from @LocalBean )
Class: ejb3.bean.HelloEjb_n3seu_NoIntfViewImpl
Binding Name: java:global.PVHelloEJBEAR.PVHelloEJB.HelloEjb!ejb3.bean.HelloEjbLocal (this is from @Local)
Class: ejb3.bean.HelloEjb_n3seu_HelloEjbLocalImpl
Binding Name: java:global.PVHelloEJBEAR.PVHelloEJB.HelloEjb!ejb3.bean.HelloEjbRemote (this is from @Remote again)
Class: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy208
where PVHelloEJBEAR.PVHelloEJB.HelloEjb are respectively: application name (from application.xml), ejb module name (from application.xml), ejb name (mappedName)
To lookup the EJB interface from a JSP:
HelloEjbRemote helloEjb = (HelloEjbRemote) context.lookup("HelloEjb#ejb3.bean.HelloEjbRemote");
or (it works also in a servlet) if the JSP is in a WAR the same EAR as the EJB module you can use the no-interface @LocalBean trick :
@EJB private HelloEjb helloEjb;
If you provide a @EJB in the JSP/Servlet without having a @LocalBean annotation, you get this error:
Module named 'PVHelloEJBEAR' failed to redeploy. See Error Log view for more detail. weblogic.management.DeploymentException: weblogic.application.naming.ReferenceResolutionException: [J2EE:160200]Error resolving ejb-ref "ejb3.bean.HelloEjb3Servlet/helloEjb" from module "PVHelloWAR.war" of application "PVHelloEJBEAR". The ejb-ref does not have an ejb-link and the JNDI name of the target bean has not been specified. Attempts to automatically link the ejb-ref to its target bean failed because no EJBs in the application were found to implement the "ejb3.bean.HelloEjb" interface. Link or map this ejb-ref to its target EJB and ensure the interfaces declared in the ejb-ref are correct. Exception received from deployment driver. See Error Log view for more detail.
This is the documentation of @EJB : https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/ejb/EJB.html
So if from your Servlet/JSP you want to access a REMOTE EJB (i.e. without LocalBean) you must change your @EJB lookup to:
@EJB(lookup="HelloEjb#ejb3.bean.HelloEjbRemote") private HelloEjbRemote helloEjb;
or using the @Local interface:
@EJB private HelloEjbLocal helloEjb;
