J2EE Pattern Workshop: J2EE Service Locator Pattern
Workshop Abstract:
A Service Locator object is used to abstract all JNDI usage and to hide
the complexities of initial context creation, EJB home object lookup,
and EJB object re-creation. Multiple clients can reuse the Service
Locator object to reduce code complexity, provide a single point of
control, and improve performance by providing a caching facility.
