Using ADS service in EJB application (without WebDynpro)

Question

Hi experts!
Tell me, please, is there some way to use ADS outside WebDynpro Java application ?
I need to create EJB function, which returns rendered PDF document based on XDP template using ADS, configured in NW 7.2 java server.
I found an api to operate ADS in java in package com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api, but its api included in tc/wd/api development component and not available in other apps except WDJ.
Thanks for reply.

Hi,
Here is the code I use to create a task. I hope it could help you or help other users trying to do the same thing.
IUWLService uwlService = (IUWLService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IUWLService.ALIAS_KEY);     
UWLContext uwlContext = new UWLContext();
IProviderConnector pc = uwlService.getRegisterProviderConnector(IProviderConnector.ADHOC_WORKFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID);
Item item1 = new Item(
     IProviderConnector.ADHOC_WORKFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID,
     "system",
     "id1",
     uwlContext.getUserId(),
     -1,
     new java.util.Date(),
     "lkjh",
     null,
     "request1",
     "uwl.task",
     "uwl.task",
     PriorityEnum.NORMAL,
     StatusEnum.NEW,
     "Super Test"
item1.setShared();
Set users=new HashSet();
IUserContext userContext = ((IPortalComponentRequest)getRequest()).getUser();
users.add(userContext.getUniqueID());
IUWLItemManager itemManager = uwlService.getItemManager(uwlContext);
uwlService.getPushChannel().pushSharedItem(pc,item1,users);
