public EJBHomeProvider() 
{

}

Creates new EJBProvider

 protected Object getNewServiceObject(MessageContext msgContext,
    String clsName) throws Exception 
{
      // Get the EJB Home object from JNDI
      Object result = new InitialContext().lookup(clsName);
      return result;
}

Return the object which implements the service. Makes the usual JNDI->lookup call wo the PortableRemoteDaDaDa for the sake of Corba.

 protected Class getServiceClass(MessageContext msgContext,
    String beanJndiName) throws Exception 
{
        Handler serviceHandler = msgContext.getService();
        Class interfaceClass = null;
        // First try to get the interface class from the configuation
        String homeName = 
                (String) serviceHandler.getOption(homeInterfaceNameOption);
       if(homeName != null){
            interfaceClass = msgContext.getClassLoader().loadClass(homeName);
        } else {
           // we look into the metadata
           EJBHome home=(EJBHome) getNewServiceObject(msgContext,beanJndiName);
           interfaceClass=home.getEJBMetaData().getHomeInterfaceClass();
       }
        // got it, return it
       return interfaceClass;
}

Get the class description for the EJB Remote Interface, which is what we are interested in exposing to the world (i.e. in WSDL).

 protected String getServiceClassNameOptionName() 
{
        return beanNameOption;
}

Return the option in the configuration that contains the service class name. In the EJB case, it is the JNDI name of the bean.
