I am having an java desktop Application, based on the necessary configuration I want to start the ejb container. Is there a embed EJB container I can use? How can I use only the jboss ejb3 container? As I don't require web container.

The Java EE specification defines what is called Application Client Container , wich seems to be suitable for your requirement.

There are several implementations, for example the one provided by Oracle or JBoss .
