JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "lookup for remote bean - failure": http://community.jboss.org/message/529105#529105 Author : Yaron Levy Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/reyaron Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, My problem is that for some reason, the path to my remote bean is being duplicated by the http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/naming/InitialContext.html as you can see also in the exception: /my-app-ear-name/GeneralDao/my-app-ear-name/GeneralDao/remote why is that happening? How can I avoid this? I work with jboss-5.1.0.GA , http://www.javaranch.com/ 6.0.12 the way I do the lookup: Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "127.0.0.1:1099"); context = new InitialContext(properties); Object bean = context.lookup("my-app-ear-name/GeneralDao/remote");   The exeption:  javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception while trying to locate proxy factory in JNDI, at key ProxyFactory/my-app-ear-name/GeneralDao/my-app-ear-name/GeneralDao/remote]     at
