[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - I have remote working - but need a reference to a local bean

Accessing beans through the remote interface is working well. Within the container I want to have a bean access another bean - I think via the local interface (but I'll take what I can get). However i get a null reference back - any ideas what I am doing wrong? private static IMyoneLocal getMyone() throws ClassCastException, NamingException { return (IMyoneLocal) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( getBean(), IMyoneRemote.class); } private static Object getBean() throws NamingException { if (ctx == null) { ctx = new InitialContext(); } String beanName = "MyoneBean/local"; Object ref = ctx.lookup(beanName); return ref; } Is there anything special I need to meet the requirements of the context - seems unlikely given that I am in the container? thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3961935#...
