Dynamically Access & Call An EJB From Another EJB?

Is there a way to dynamically access and call an EJB from another EJB?
For example, can a session bean read a file with information about
another session bean without hardcoding information about the second
bean in the first bean's .java bean class or its .xml descriptor files? Can
some form of reflection or introspection be used?

Thanks.

Steve

Hi Steve.

Sure - you can obtain a remote reference to *any* EJB using it's JNDI
name. You may need to do some work in narrowing the Object down to a
home interface, but if you can cross that bridge you can then use all
of the reflection and introspection constructs you are used to using
on other java classes.
