[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Invoking EJB from a servlet

I am trying to access ejb form a servlet but I am getting following exception. i would be thankful if anybody could tell me how can I fix the problem. I am using following code : Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); props.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); props.put("java.naming.provider.url", "100.100.100.12:1099"); InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(props); Object objRef = ic.lookup("npg/NpgTxn"); System.out.println("ObjRef="+objRef); NpgTxnHome home = (NpgTxnHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef,NpgTxnHome.class); npgTxn = home.create(); And getting following Exception ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException in method: public abstract com.nepasoft.npg.ejb.NpgTxn com.nepasoft.npg.ejb.NpgTxnHome.create() throws javax.ejb.CreateException,java.rmi.RemoteException: javax.ejb.EJBException: Invalid
