[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Context lookup

[rotten_ritz]

I have the following interface and bean

userProfile.java //interface
userProfileBean.java //implementation

and i do the following from a servlet

private userProfile UserProfile;
Context context = new InitialContext();
UserProfile = (userProfile)context.lookup("userProfileBean/remote");

It works fine. Im able to invoke the method and get the right return value. 
My query is wouldnt I(client) do a lookup based on the interface, rather than the bean?

shouldn't the lookup be more like this
UserProfile = (userProfile)context.lookup("userProfile/remote");

I just started programming with EJBs and conceptually, lookin up an interface makes sense because the client wouldnt know about the bean implementation. 

Can someone clarify or point me to some link/tutorial which could help me?

thanx
