Hi,

first, here is the context:

- Spring 1.2.7
- one EAR deployed in JBoss 4.0.3
- the EJBs packaged in one EJB-JAR all sharing one ApplicationContext to inject their delegate.
ApplicationContext sharing is achieved using the way recommended on this forum, i.e. by calling setBeanFactoryLocator(ContextSingletonBeanFactoryL ocator.getInstance())
- one WAR (JSF-based usnig JSF-Spring) using several ApplicationContexts

When my webapp calls local EJBs, I can see that one ApplicationContext is created for each call. So it seems that my EJBs do not share the context!

I have made some investigations in EJBs:

- ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator.getInstance() does return the same object
- calls to getBeanFactory() indeed, strangely, return different objects

And now the funny part: if I make a *remote* call to one EJB, the problem disappear.
After that, local EJB calls no more cause ApplicationContext creation.

I don't have a clue about what goes wrong.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
