<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I  just now discovered that there might be an alternate solution to my particular problem, that is passing the initialization state to an EJB in the same JVM using pass by reference instead of pass by value. On another discussion thread, I was asking about initializing the state of of a stateful EJB. I was given an example solution/alternative which I have modified. The modified example is shown below.</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span> </p><p><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: courier new,courier; ">interface MyLocal {<br/>   MyRemote create(String state);<br/>}</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: courier new,courier; ">interface MyRemote{<br/>   void doWork();<br/> <br/>class MyBean implement MyRemote, MyLocal {<br/>   MyRemote create(String state) {<br/>      this.state = state;<br/>      return ctx.getBusinessObject(MyRemote.class);<br/>   }<br/>   <br/>   void doWork(){<br/>      // do something<br/>   }<br/>}</span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: courier new,courier; "> </span> </p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; ">This example allows me to use EJBx to create EJBy in the same JVM. I use the local interface, initialize the state of EJBy, passing the state by reference. The create method of EJBy creates the remote interface which is ultimately passed back to the remote client. </span></p></div>
