Of course I could use another InitialContext but in my opinion that is a hack for an EJB on a remote application server. I know that the federated context is not really EJB standard as well but it would let me use remote EJBs within ejb-ref or resource-ref within an EJB. Isn't it strange that HA-JMS cannot be found into the HAJNDI tree even though it is the only component, at least I know of, that need to be bound there because it has to run inside a HA-Singleton. Just to get a clear understanding here what is bound to the HAJNDI tree ever? I have a clustered SLSB and that is not bound there and so what is or what do I need to do in order to bind my SLSB into the HAJNDI tree.
