Find the bean name in the server environment

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to get the bean name (Session or Entity) that had called another bean.
I mean, there is a method in my entity bean the ask the following: "Hey, who called
me?"
I think it's so easy :)
Could anybody help me?

Answer 1

If you mean that you want the username of the person who used the bean, you
can get that by entitycontext.getCallerPrincipal(). If you want to know
what's the class/method that called, it's not possible without tapping into
the low-level guts, which is not something that a vendor would document
openly. More easy is developing it yourself:
void doSomething() {
StatefulHome home= ...
Stateful sfb = home.create(this.Class().toString(), //caller class
"thisEJB" //caller's JNDI name

The entity bean that had been called has a column in the database (aforeign key,
for example) that represents the caller.
Did you understand me?
