Portable JNDI names in EJB 3.1

Java EE 6 made some efforts to standardize JNDI names at global,application, and module levels. Now EJB deployed to EJB-3.1-capable server will have various standard JNDI names registered. EJB 3.1 spec defines the following 3 levels of JNDI names for EJB:

Global JNDI name:

java:global[/<app-name>]/<module-name>/<bean-name>[!<fully-quali-fied-interface-name>]

Application-scope JNDI name:

java:app/<module-name>/<bean-name>[!<fully-qualified-interface-name>]

Module-scope JNDI name:

java:module/<bean-name>[!<fully-qualified-interface-name>]

The following exampels shows various EJB JNDI names, depending upon how the EJB is packaged, its business interface(s), and bean class:

Bean class: test.TestBean
business interface: none
