This post relates to: JBWS-2634 Hi EJB3 Team, I need your help. I'm working on the above issue at the moment and there are many issues regarding the EJB specification defaults I'm dealing with. Here's my usecase: ad1) I defined EJB3 bean: package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.shared; import javax.ejb.Stateless; @Stateless public class BeanImpl implements BeanIface { public String printString() { return "Injected hello message"; } } --- package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.shared; public interface BeanIface { String printString(); } ad2) Then I defined POJO webservice injecting the EJB3 bean: package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.webservice; import javax.ejb.EJB; import javax.jws.WebService; import org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.shared.BeanIface; @WebService ( serviceName = "EndpointService", targetNamespace = "http://jbossws.org/JBWS2634", endpointInterface="org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.webservice.POJOIface" ) public class POJOBean implements POJOIface { @EJB private BeanIface testBean; public String getMessage() { return testBean.printString(); } } --- package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.webservice; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding; @WebService @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) public interface POJOIface { @WebMethod String getMessage(); } Issue I'm dealing with: * Above usecase doesn't work because I don't know how to construct/obtain injected EJB3 JNDI name. Is it possible to do it outside EJB3 components (in my case from webservice code)? I'm able to workaround this problem with specifying name attribute: @EJB(name = "jaxws-jbws2634/BeanImpl/local-org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.jbws2634.shared.BeanIface") private BeanIface testBean; but I'd like to support both usecases i.e. with/out name EJB annotation attribute. Also javax.ejb.EJB annotation is really confusing me. What's the difference between name and mappedName? Where in the EJB spec I can find exhausting description of this annotation?
