in netbeans, right click on editor, "entreprise resources"->call entreprise bean select your ejb, remote/local depending where you add your portlet. netbean add a method to your portlet for you... except the jndi is wrong :-) so too call an ejb "MediaDirSessionBean", from the application project "AC", with local interface, jndi is : "AC/MediaDirSessionBean/local" the full function should look like this one : private MediaDirSessionLocal lookupMediaDirSessionBean() { try { Context c = new InitialContext(); return (MediaDirSessionLocal) c.lookup("AC/MediaDirSessionBean/local"); } catch (NamingException ne) { java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, "exception caught", ne); throw new RuntimeException(ne); } } A+ View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4112588#...
