Yes, you can. Is your bean a secure EJB or is it unsecure? If its a secure EJB then you will have to do a JAAS login before accessing the bean. If its not then, a simple lookup of the remote home of the EJB and later on invoking the method on the bean will work. Note, than you can use only remote interface/home of the EJB from the standalone java client. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3967238#...
