Answer 1

Place this in your servlet:

@EJB
private YourEJBRemoteInterface remoteService;

And you will have your service injected. (you may need to set the name of the @EJB annotation)

Another way is to use JNDI lookup, but this is obsolete.

Update: Since your JBoss version seems obsolete as well, the JNDI lookup is the way to go. int your servlet init(..) method lookup the EJB through JNDI (using InitialContext), and set them as fields, as if dependency-injection has been performed.
