Here is more information: RoleBean is the class that implements Role ejb-jar.xml of both the calling ear and the ear being called have only <display-name> tag. I do not have jboss.xml. The contents of the Global JNDI namesapce regarding my beans are... +- svc (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)   |   +- UnitBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)   |   |   +- local (proxy: $Proxy108 implements No ClassLoaders found for: ejb.Unit (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled))   |   |   +- remote (proxy: $Proxy107 implements No ClassLoaders found for: ejb.Unit (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled))   |   +- RoleBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)   |   |   +- local (proxy: $Proxy104 implements No ClassLoaders found for: ejb.Role (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled))   |   |   +- remote (proxy: $Proxy103 implements No ClassLoaders found for: ejb.Role (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)) Both the statements below fail with the name not bound exception(whether I use @EJB or not): RoleBean roleLookup = (ejb.RoleBean) new InitialContext().lookup("svc/RoleBean/remote"); or Role roleLookup = (ejb.Role) new InitialContext().lookup("svc/Role/remote"); Any ideas how to fix this?
