Hmm, this won't work, as I need this to be serializable. So, I guess we need some serializable identifier for a session bean instance. Perhaps we change to an EjbResolver for getting instances of SFSB that can return something like: interface EJBInstance<T> { | | Serializable getId(); | T getInstance(); | | } rather than a JNDI lookup.
