EJB Remote Applications

An EJB remote application can be one of the following:

a standalone Java application
another component that runs within a application server instance, and makes invocations into remote EJBs.

JBoss EAP 6 introduced the EJB client API for managing remote EJB invocations. The EJB client API uses the EJB Client Context.

The EJB Client Context may be associated with, and used by more than one thread concurrently.

The EJB Client Context is configured with jboss-ejb-client.properties for standalone applications and with jboss-ejb-client.xml for applications deployed within the EAP.

An EJB Client Context may contain any number of EJB receivers.

An EJB receiver is a component that knows how to communicate with a server that is capable of handling EJB invocations.
