This is the second, and last part of the Using Dependency Injection in Struts2 for stateless EJBs series of posts. In this post I will present a utility class that can be used to make the creation of Guice bindings for EJB3s easier. Introducing EjbBinder Our goal is to make an easier API, specifically for [...]
In this post I will present a way to use dependency injection of stateless session beans in Struts 2 actions using Guice. I will only write about EJB3, because they have simpler client lookup code, but you might be able to change the presented code to cover older versions of EJB. We will use off [...]

You don’t have to code a Business Delegate. All you need to do, is make your EJBs implement the Business Interface design pattern and use DynamicDelegateFactory [...]
