Yes this is exactly how I want too use it. Thanks. Now, another question: Because I will need this "constant" outsite the EJB and because the bean definition is not availlable outside, How can I define this constant? I use XDoclet to generate my classes and interfaces. Is there a way to tell it to "export" this static final field in the generated class? (interfaces and dataClasses)? Should I define some function giving me the constant value? (Bhaaaaa! Sound really dirty) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3989615#...
