=====   Regarding node-name.   =====
In standalone I supposed it is the name of jboss-ejb-client.properties
    remote.connection.default.host=localhost
But I have to set it by -Djboss.node.name=<>.
??? it is not possible to add a system-property to the standalone.xml for that, or do I something wrong with the system-property element in configuration???
??? What is the name in domain mode? Is the <server name="" ...> attribute for each defined server used???
??? Is it possible to see the node name with the management console???

The section for remote invoking EJB's note that a node name must be set unique, but I did not see any problem if I start two instances (same machine) without jboss.node.name?
Is here a default created?

==== UserTransaction =====
If I do this in my client:
{code}
1:       UserTransaction uTx = EJBClient.getUserTransaction("Wolf");
2:     LOG.debug("UserTransaction ="+uTx);
3:     uTx.begin();
4:     LOG.debug("Tx.begin() ok");
5:     bmtSession.checkTransaction(); // call a SLSB to use Tx
6:     uTx.commit();
        LOG.debug("Tx.commit() ok");
{code}

Line 1 and 3 works nevertheless whether there is a server (with or without a correct node.name) or not. The line 5: will fail 'No EJB receiver with 'node.name'
If I remove getUserTransaction I can execute the code nevertheless whether a node name is set or not.

??? So I suppose the getUTx will attach the next EJB call to that server ???

If a server is available the commit will fail (also the EJB checkTransaction show the TxState=6 (NO-Tx)

??? My question what is wrong with my assumption or code???

Is it possible to lookup and use UserTransaction from a remote-client as
in AS5?
Or is it planned for further release?

In AS 7, you can have a connection to more than one server at once. 
Thus you have to specify which server node you want to talk to.  The 
method you want is 
org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClient#getUserTransaction(String), where the 
argument is the node name.  Note that your connection must already be 
established at this point.

We do not presently have a way to pull a UserTransaction out of JNDI, 
though that could be considered for an enhancement.
