I don't see any obvious problems with the configurations or the jndi-name you are using. The jndi listing that you posted, is it from the "Global JNDI Namespace"? And is there anything more in the exception stacktrace than what you have posted so far? Also, how do you start JBoss? Are you passing any -b option or -Djboss.bind.address while starting JBoss? I see that the client is being invoked through a build script. Are you sure that when this client is being called, the bean has already been deployed and available in the JNDI tree?
