Thanks for your reply, but unfortunalety, the following change | ArticleManagerLocal artman= (ArticleManagerLocal) ejbCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/be.erpsystem.texaco.articles.ArticleManager"); | doesn't work either :( Any other suggestions? Do you still need a deployment-descriptor in the web-tier? Or is there any need to inject the EJB? Thanks!
