It changed because the DeploymentScope is now handling the resolution of references to other components, so there is always a DeploymentScope. Previously this only existed for ears. Use the DeploymentScope getEjbContainer methods to obtain the container: | public interface DeploymentScope extends JavaEEApplication | { | /** | * Obtain the EJBContainer best matching the business interface | * @param businessIntf - the business interface to match | * @param vfsContext - the vfs path to the deploment initiating the request | * @return the matching EJBContainer if found, null otherwise. | */ | EJBContainer getEjbContainer(Class businessIntf, String vfsContext) | throws NameNotFoundException; | /** | * Obtain the EJBContainer best matching the business interface | * @param ejbLink - the referencing ejb-link | * @param businessIntf - the business interface to match | * @param vfsContext - the vfs path to the deploment initiating the request | * @return the matching EJBContainer if found, null otherwise. | */ | EJBContainer getEjbContainer(String ejbLink, Class businessIntf, String vfsContext); | | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4147001#...
