HI, About my first option: I've no clue how to mix the spring deployer into the embeddable EJB3. Anyone? The second option seems more easy. However, it seems to be difficult to bind a BeanFactory or ApplicationContext in JNDI, because they're not Serializable. I've tried to use the SpringBeanFactoryDeployerImpl class in the spring-deployer jars, but without luck. How can I from my standalone environment load the spring ApplicationContext or BeanFactory?
