Jos=E9,

JNDI works, thank you!  This was the first time I 'ever' had to use JNDI
lookup. I had to research it (search google, look at TomEE examples - ejb
reference[1][2][3], surely did not want to create an 'interface', kept
looking, looked at tomee log, as i know it lists all @EJBs at startup in
the log, didn't see what i was looking for, so i looked at RI/Glassfish
log, since i 'remembered' that RI/Glassfish mentions the JNDI lookup path
for all my @EJB's in the glassfish log at 'startup' of my app)...

So, per an oracle blog[4][5] about JNDI lookup and what i saw in glassfish
log (12/9/2012 was last time i used glassfish to start my app...smile), I
modified the @Singleton @Lock(READ) bean, accordingly (see code below),
tested it, and voila, it works!!!! :)
