List all EJBs deployed in an application server!!

Question

I am new to EJBs
Can we write a code where, given an Initial context class and the server location, we can get the list of all the EJBs deployed in that server?
Think the value of initial context class will only change based on the application server ... confirm..
Thanks

Another straightforward check is to have adopted a naming convention in your JNDI tree. For example, all EJBS are under **/ejb. Obviously this doesn't guarantee that your application server won't have whacked something under there too - that's where the instanceof check will be required.
Another alternative is to make calls to the appropriate MBeans in your code - effectively doing what the JMX console does. Accessing MBeans is pretty straightforward - typically you just look up the MBean Server in JNDI and locate all relevant MBeans using a query. The nature of the query will depend on the application server you're using.
Hope this helps.
