What's the default JNDI name of an EJB in Websphere Application Server 7 (WAS)?

Question

In the Administration COnsole of WAS 7, on the Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application > EJB JNDI names section, I have a table with four columns :

• EJB Module (e.g. ProjectEJB.jar)
• EJB (e.g. BeanBO )
• URI (e.g. ProjectEJB.jar, META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
• Target resource JNDI Name (with empty fields)

Something like this :

What's the jndi name of my LogWriter bean ?

Below you have table with default names. Each bean gets short and long form. You can override default using ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xml file or during installation via console. During module startup bindings will be visible in SysyemOut.log

You can read about default bindings here: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.express.iseries.doc/info/iseriesexp/ae/cejb_bindingsejbfp.html

Description                              Binding pattern
Short form local interfaces and homes    ejblocal:<package.qualified.interface>
Short form remote interfaces and homes   <package.qualified.interface>
Long form local interfaces and homes     ejblocal:<component-id>#<package.qualified.interface>
Long form remote interfaces and homes    ejb/<component-id>#<package.qualified.interface>

The component-id defaults to <application-name>/<module-jar-name>/<ejb-name>
