How to define own JNDI name for EJB in an ear

Question

I have an ear which has ejb.jar , core.jar .

core.jar use lookup to find the bean at run time. Now the jndi path is mysystem-server-component-ear-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/MyServiceBean/local which means <earname>/<beanname>/<localinterface>

I want to define JNDI like MyServiceBean/local . Where my MyServiceBean is the ejb bean and it use local interface.

I use EJB 3.1 without ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml . All the wiring done through annotation .

How can I define my own JNDI name which I can lookup

Answer 1

Did you try @EJB(mappedName = "yourJndiName") ?

If your JNDI lookups are not working as expected, then you should always check your JNDI tree from within the administration frontend (should be somewhere in jmx-console/JBoss/service=JNDIView or similar). Sometimes the name of the remote interface, etc. is added to your JNDI name by your application server.
