What's the proper way to access an EJB3 Bean from within a Tapestry Page class?

Question

I want to use an EJB3 from within my Tapestry Page class, I can do JNDI lookup for it, but it will me much convenient to use EJB injection or Tapestry IoC. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Of course! You can either contribute your EJBs via Tapestry's IOC container, so you would do the JNDI lookup in your build methods instead of all over your code (see the manual for information).

Or you could wire up your EJBs as Spring beans (see the Spring EJB documentation for details), and use Tapestry-Spring to allow injecting them into your components via @Inject.
