If I've understood correctly, no, but I'm probably abusing my lurker 
status here and talking nonsense. The container is responsible for 
creating the EJB instances, you cannot instantiate the beans yourself 
(you're bypassing all the container mechanisms to instrument the EJB). 
Unless you're talking about the ActionFrameEJB looking up the home via 
JNDI and creating the EJB's via that. Again if I understand the 
situation correctly, your ActionFrameEJB could use a ServiceLocator 
object to lookup the EJB home interfaces you want and create the session 
beans via that, but they'll still need (as dictated by the spec) the 
ejbCreate()/create() methods to perform any initialization you want. I 
haven't used XDoclet in a while but if you're not happy putting that 
method in all of your SLSBs then maybe a base class with the markup 
(@ejb-create?) might do that trick with a placeholder ejbCreate() method 
(that does nothing, if thats what you're after).
