Using servlets, one can easily inject EJBs using the @EJB annotation. Can I achieve the same thing with RAP? Let's consider the following scenario:

@Stateless
public class MyStatelessBean {
      public String getApplicationName() {
                  return "My application";
      }
}

public class MyApplication implements EntryPoint {
        
        @EJB
        MyStatelessBean myBean;

        public int createUI() {
            Shell shell = new Shell();
            shell.setText(myBean!=null?myBean.getApplicationName():"null");
            return 0;
        }
}

I've done all the standard plumbing in order to deploy my application to JBoss. And it works, sort of ... But myBean is null.

The question really is:

Can I access my service layer from RAP using annotations and injections?

A kind of E4 approach. Or the only way is JNDI lookup? Obviously using the new operator for creating an object (some part of the UI) prevents the EJB container from injecting into that object, but is there any clever workaround I am missing?

Since no one has replied so far, I assume JNDI is the only realistic solution. Then, I have another question. Should I implement the Service Locator pattern as a singleton for all users, or each user should have her own service locator? I can't really estimate what overhead many InitialContext objects would cause ...

Has anyone ever combined Spring AOP (@Configurable) with RWT standalone deployment in order to access the service layer from non managed UI objects as described in the following blog:

In the JEE compatibility mode (the default for non-workbench
applications) you should be able to access your EJBs directly. If it's a
workbench application, you could try to wrap the EJB lookup in a
runnable and execute it in an RWT.requestThreadExec().

HTH, Ralf
