Injecting a remote EJB in a managedBean

Question

I'm stuck since x time on how to inject a remote EJB in a managed bean of a JSF application. I've created a simpl java application and i've come to inject the remote EJB with the lookup... and it works. but when i come to the web application i really don't know what to do !!!

here is my EJB code:

@Stateless
public class Hello implements HelloRemote {

@Override
public String sayHello(String name) {

    return "Hello, "+name;
}
}

the Remote interface is

@Remote
public interface HelloRemote {

public String sayHello(String name);
}

in my web application i vre created i managed bean :

@ManagedBean
 public class MyBean {
   @EJB
   HelloRemote helloRemote;

}

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK :(

If you want to expose EJB locally you have to use @Local on Interface.

If you want to expose both locally and remotely you have to created 2 Interfaces, one with @Local and one with @Remote .

If your JSF ManagedBean(MyBean) is running locally ie., Running on same App server as EJB you can directly inject it using @EJB .

If your JSF ManagedBean is running on different server, you have to use the JNDI Registry to look up and access the EJB.
