Scenario:

I have @Singleton UserFactory (@Stateless could be) , its method createSession() generating @Stateful UserSession bean by manual lookup.

If I am injecting by DI @EJB - i will get same instance during calling fromFactory() method(as it should be)

What I want - is to get new instance of UserSession without preforming lookup.

Q1: how could I call new instance of @Stateful session bean?

Code:

@Singleton
@Startup
@LocalBean
public class UserFactory {

    @EJB
    private UserSession session;

    public UserFactory() {
    }


    @Schedule(second =  "*/1", minute = "*", hour = "*")
    public void creatingInstances(){
        try {
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            UserSession session2 = (UserSession) ctx.lookup("java:global/inferno/lic/UserSession");
            System.out.println("in singleton UUID " +session2.getSessionUUID());    
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    @Schedule(second =  "*/1", minute = "*", hour = "*")
    public void fromFactory(){
        System.out.println("in singleton UUID " +session.getSessionUUID());
    }


    public UserSession creatSession(){
        UserSession session2 = null;
        try {
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
            session2 = (UserSession) ctx.lookup("java:global/inferno/lic/UserSession");
            System.out.println("in singleton UUID " +session2.getSessionUUID());
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return session2;

    }



}

As I understand, calling of

session.getClass().newInstance();

is not a best idea

Q2 : is it true?

I am using glassfish v3, ejb 3.1.
