So, I have 2 separate JBoss installations running on separate machines. One hosts an EJB application that exposes a remote interface for clients to access. The second is running an EJB client application that accesses the remote interface of the first. The client application contains a jar containing copies of the server classes it needs, referenced in the application.xml as an EJB module. In the client application, upon initialization, I'm setting the remote JNDI environment as follows: System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); System.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://<ip_of_first_server>:1099"); System.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); And then getting an InitialContext in the usual way. The problem is that the client never seems to try to access the server's remote interface, and always tries to look locally. No errors are thrown at all. Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108697#...
