Specify JNDI Name For EJB Module

Question

Hi folks, please I need to know how I can specify the Jndi name for an ejb module I am creating in netbeans 5.0, to be accessed by a web application.
If this can be done using the sun java system application server 9 admin consle (just as for JDBC Resources), i'll also like to know how.
Thanks.

Thanks Jay. I went through the links, it seems that if you have the JNDI name set in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, there is no need to set the same in the weblogic admin console. I am using ejb 2.x version. Particularly if you get the WLInitialContextFactory in your code , then there is no need to set the JNDI name in the JNDI tree in weblogic admin console.
Like:-
Context ctx = null;
java.sql.Connection conn = null;
Hashtable<String,String> ht = new Hashtable<String,String>();
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"t3://localhost:7001");
This will take care of JNDI tree, hence there is no need to set the JNDI name explictly in the weblogic admin console.
Please correct me if i am wrong. Whether for datasource also whether we can do the same, by setting the resource-ref with datasource in the ejb-jar.xml and not set anything in weblogic admin console? Thanks.
