The bean must comply to EJB 2.1 API, so the Remote interface is mandatory. In JBoss the home interface is optional. To lookup the bean I use the following properties: Properties props = new Properties(); | props.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory"); | props.put("java.naming.provider.url", "corbaloc::localhost:3528/NameService"); | props.put("java.naming.factory.object", "org.jboss.tm.iiop.client.IIOPClientUserTransactionObjectFactory"); | props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming.client:org.jnp.interfaces"); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033614#...
