Name

<ejb-local-ref>

Synopsis

The <ejb-local-ref> element is often used to declare a local EJB reference used by the application.

Syntax

<ejb-local-ref>
  [<description [xml:lang="lang"]>description</description>]*
  <ejb-ref-name>ejbRefName</ejb-ref-name>
  <ejb-ref-type>Entity|Session</ejb-ref-type>
  <local-home>homeInterfaceName</local-home>
  <local>localInterfaceName</local>
  [<ejb-link>linkedEJBName</ejb-link>]
</ejb-local-ref>

The <ejb-local-ref> element serves the same purpose as the <ejb-ref> element but for local beans. It supports all the same nested elements, except that <home> is replaced by <local-home> and <remote> is replaced by <local>:

<ejb-local-ref>
  <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Payroll</ejb-ref-name>
  <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
  <local-home>com.mycomp.PayrollHome</local-home>
  <local>com.mycomp.Payroll</local>
</ejb-local-ref>
