<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hello everybody,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>After searching for an error during half a day, I found a very strange behaviour in jboss 5.1.0GA that I can't explain. Here is my case :</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>My jboss server holds an EJB 2.1 bound to this jndi name : <em>"A"</em>. Please note that it is bound to a global jndi namespace (not a <em>java:</em> namespace). As is, it is considered as remote.</p><p>I wrote a unit test where I :</p><p>- lookup this EJB using <em>java:/A</em> <-- my error I searched for a long time</p><p>- call a method on the stub</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>--> It works, even though I made a mistake on the jndi name.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Then I deployed a second ejb on another jboss server, which looked up the A ejb on the other server using the same "wrong" name  <em>"java:/A"</em> : I got the <strong>NameNotBoundException</strong> which is normal.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>After searching half a day the reason why I got the <strong>NameNotBoundException, </strong>I realized that my mistake was the jndi name I kept on using : <em>java:/A</em></p><p>So I changed it to "A", and then my lookup started to work.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I now have found my error and am happy with it. The only thing I don't understand is that my code in my unit test still works using <em>java:/A</em> which is false.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Is there somewhere in jboss some code that would say. "ok, even if the name my client is requesting is <em>java:/foo</em>, I try to search <em>foo</em> just in case my client would have made a mistake, because I do know that I'm called by a remote client". This behaviour would not occur when called within a jboss server, even if used as a remote client for another server ?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Can someone explain it to me ?</p><p>Thank you.</p><p>Dom</p></div>
