MDB and BeanFactory

[vichandoko]

Hi,

I've an MDB extending org.springframework.ejb.support.AbstractJmsMessage DrivenBean.
Inside this MDB i would like to access a StatelessSessionBean by retrieving it from the bean factory.

How could do this? Do i need to add the MDB to the BeanFactory?

Looking at the other StatelessSessionBean that we've used, there bean factory is set after deployment. When/where does the BeanFactory attribute actually get set? How do i do this for the MDB?

Thanks much.

Just as accessing the SLSB from anywhere else. See here for details.

No, you don't.

It happens in your base class AbstractJmsMessageDrivenBean (or, more exactly, a superclass thereof). If you are interested in details, have a look at the javadoc or the source code of this class.
