Thanks jaikiran for your comments. I did remove the jboss jars as well as the second sips.jar with no visible benefit. I still get | QuestionFacadeHomeRemote (proxy: $Proxy98 implements No ClassLoaders found for: com.rev.sips.ejb.QuestionFacadeHome (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)) | in the JNDI tree and | QuestionFacadeHomeRemote not bound javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: QuestionFacadeHomeRemote not bound | when calling that initial context. the local interface has the same manifestation.
