Re: How to use the EJB module?

Florin,

Thanks for the reply.  This is the info I was looking for however I now 
realize that this module only applies to the Velocity Context...I was 
actually hoping that it would make it possible to globally define 
Session EJBs for the actions.  The reasons for this is that I 
continually have the same code looking up and instantiating EJBs in my 
actions and it would simplify them greatly to have the session beans 
which are being reused constantly available globally in the same manner 
that "request" and "application" are available.

What are the thoughts on this?  Is there a preferable alternative?

Again, thanks!

James
