Storing/Recalling of EJB Objects

Question

Hi
I have a servlet that accepts a XMLDocument in the doPost method.In this XML I have the following nodes:
EJBName, EJBMethod, Parameter1,...
The Servlet has already done the JNDI lookup and creation of my EJB's (quite a lot of them).
I would now like to store the EJB object in some sort of array and extract the correct one depending upon the values received in the XML Doc.
Example...
WizIsisIMEIHome wizIsisIMEIHome = (WizIsisIMEIHome)ctx.lookup("WizIsisIMEI");
wizIsisIMEI = wizIsisIMEIHome.create();
I would now like to put this object into the array with a reference name: ie IsisEJB.
If I now receives the following data in the XMLDoc, I would like to do the following:
Lookup EJB object by reference (IsisEJB).
Build up the following statement:
EJBName .EJBMethod(param1, ...);
XMLDocument outXMLDoc = wizIsisIMEI.getLastIMEIXML( msisdn, imei, retMessage, retCode );
I can do this with a CASE/SWITCH but this will be cumbersome/ugly with 90 EJB's!
Any ideas/samples will be appreciated
Tks
Andre

I would now like to put this object into the array
with a reference name: ie IsisEJB.Use a HashMap, with the EJB name as the key. When handling an incoming request, acquire the Remote (or Local) interface from the Map using the specified EJBName from your request.
Then use the Reflection API to acquire a Method object representing the remote method you want to call and invoke it.
