simple stateless question

[Hao Lieu <ha...@gmail.com>]

I got a simple stateless bean

@Stateless
public class CsUndergradCourse implements Course {...}

Course is a plain old java interface.
public interface Course {...}

when i start up my ejb container, i can see in the log info, the following
JNDI binding happening:

1. INFO -
Jndi(name="java:global/cdi-examples/CsUndergradCourse!org.superbiz.cdi.examples.Course")
2. INFO - Jndi(name="java:global/cdi-examples/CsUndergradCourse")

but when i lookup up the following,
   Object object =
ejbContainer.getContext().lookup("java:global/cdi-examples/CsUndergradCourse");

object is null and the following fails
assertTrue(object instanceof CsUndergradCourse);

but if i remove the implements Course, everything works.

Whats going on?  I'm assuming that the JNDI binding in 2. is the object I'm
looking for, but it clearly is not.
Why does implementing the interface change the binding?

Got it.
So if the stateless implements an interface, the stateless' JNDI is

Object object = ejbContainer.getContext().lookup
  ("java:global/cdi-examples/CsUndergradCourse!org.superbiz.cdi.examples.Course");

and the client only sees it as the interface, not as the full stateless. So
I
was able to do:
assertTrue(object instanceof Course);

and work with the Course interface.
Thanks.

Hi,

As per the spec, without any interface, your stateless is a local view been
(not a Local nor a Remote).
That's why you are able to lookup your bean without the interface name at
the end.

If you really implement an interface, the stateless will be bound to JNDI
with its local interface.

Then, you need to specify the interface after.
Have a look to the log info after the "!".

Hope it helps,
Jean-Louis
