Made some progress, independently. After using the NetBeans code generation: 1) Removed the ejb-local-red from the web.xml file 2) Changed "java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean" to "MyBaseEARFilename/MyBean/local" Seems the JNDI name auto generated isn't correct. Anyone else having the similar problems with NetBeans, JBoss, and EJB, or did I do something wrong? -wls View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3974292#...
