the jndi-pattern here: <core:init debug="true" jndi-pattern="testPro/#{ejbName}/local"/> says that your EJBs will be found in JNDI under a hierarchy starting with testPro. This line in your stack trace: Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: testPro not bound seems to say that there is nothing called testPro in JNDI. I'd say either configure your EJBs to register themselves there correctly (see jboss.xml), or change your jndi-pattern to reference the location where your EJBs currently exist.
