Stateless Session Bean calling another Stateless Session Bean

Question

Hi all,
I have written 2 Stateless Session bean and would like to call the business method of 2nd Stateless Session Bean in the business method of the 1st.
I have written the lookup code for 2nd SB in the business method of 1st SB and would like to execute the business method in the same method itself.
What do I have to do for the same for the following :
Deployment Descriptor file or any other file needs to be modified.
I am using Weblogic 6.1 and SQL Server 7.0 as database.
Thanks in advance,
Seetesh

This is actually quite similar to calling a session bean from anywhere.
Try this
//Session Bean 2 - Business Method, JNDI name SessionBean2
public void doSomethingMore(String what)
// Session Bean 1 which call.
public void doSomething()
   InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
   SessionBean2Home home2 = null;
   SessionBean2 bean2 = null;
   try
     home2 = (SessionBean2Home)initCtx.lookup("SessionBean2");
     bean2 = home2.create();
   }catch(FinderException ex){..}
    catch(CreateExceptrion ex){..}
   try
     bean2.doSomethingMore("Anything");
   }catch(remoteException ex){..}
}In my case (webLogic 5.1) I did not need to change anything in any of the deployment descriptor. However, both beans needs top be deployed on same instance of Application server (might work across instances but didnt try)
This should do it.
