When doing JNDI lookups of EJB components (when injection isn't available), I have to lookup by "EAR_NAME/BEAN_IMPL/{local/remote}". However for some components that are shared in different ears, I don't want to hardcode an ear name. Is there a way I find the ear name programmatically? I realize I can use @LocalBinding/@RemoteBinding to change where it is bound to, but I want it to be bound specifically within the context of the ear since this component could also be deployed in a different ear on the same system. Therefore, representing this context in the JNDI tree by ear name is quite reasonable. I just need to be able to determine the ear name programmatically. Currently I resort to putting the ear name in a custom configuration file in the EAR, and looking it up when I need to lookup components. However this is clumsy because it's duplicating the implicit ear name information. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4083787#...
