If you want to access the openejb.war from another computer, you will need to either remove the valve, or modify the IP list in the valve declaration. The easiest way to remove the valve it to simply delete the webapps/openejb/META-INF/context.xml file and and the webapps/openejb.war file while Tomcat is stopped. The openejb.war file must be removed because some versions of Tomcat will use the context.xml file packed in the openejb.war file regardless of what is in the unpacked directory.

To fix the issue, do the following:

JSF Injection Support

Now you can inject EJB's into JSF managed beans. Currently we have tested with JSF 1.2 RI (Mojarra) and MyFaces v1.2.3 . We would definitely appreciate any feedback on other JSF implementations.
