I have yet to see where the EJB3 references tell me how to properly *look up* EJB3 session beans from a nonmanaged class.

I've been struggling to work out how to explain to various framework authors and supporters why I think what they are telling people is not right, or why the frameworks are flawed, with very limited success. But I think I know the secret now.

Bruce Tate said it took him four months to design a data model. That doesn't make sense - while I don't know what his data model looks like, I just modeled a complete structure for myself in about an hour, including the time it took to learn EJB3.
