Hi, I try to call a local EJB from the startService method of my MBean : home = (InitBeansBeanLocalHome) ctx.lookup(InitBeansBeanLocalHome.JNDI_NAME); Unfortunately, startService method is called before the EJB is bound. In the log this line is after the error : anonymous wrote : 2007-04-26 11:12:01,381 INFO [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.BaseLocalProxyFactory] Bound EJB LocalHome 'InitBeansBean' to jndi 'ejb/InitBeansBean' How can I bound the EJB before to call it in the startService method ? If it is not possible to change the sequence, how can I call an EJB at jboss startup ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4040916#...
