How can I get EJBContext instance in ejb2 stateless bean via jndi?

I tried following:

Object o = new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/EJBContext");

but it failed as ejbcontext is not found by that name. However this code worked in ejb3 bean.

Probably I need to add resource reference to bean descriptor, but following also did not work:

<resource-ref>
     <res-ref-name>java:comp/EJBContext</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.ejb.EJBContext</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

What code attempted to perform the lookup? EJBContext can only be looked up within an EJB method. A servlet cannot lookup EJBContext. – Brett Kail Feb 20 '13 at 06:43
@bkail, I performed lookup in ejb bean's method – michael nesterenko Feb 20 '13 at 11:40
Sorry, I just looked more carefully at your resource-ref: you should remove that. `java:comp/EJBContext` is built-in, so you should not attempt to declare it as a resource-ref. – Brett Kail Feb 21 '13 at 14:40
@bkail, I tried with and without `resource-ref` it does not work in both cases – michael nesterenko Feb 21 '13 at 14:53
Can you show the failing stack trace? Perhaps that will give a hint as to what's going wrong. – Brett Kail Feb 21 '13 at 17:52
@bkail, I dont have it offhand, but there is nothing interesting. It says that it can not find such jndi name. I have checked jndi view and ejb2 beans actually don't have ejb context in their contexts. – michael nesterenko Feb 21 '13 at 17:57
Perhaps it's simply a product bug. – Brett Kail Feb 21 '13 at 18:03
