I am doing first ejb program on jboss 4.0.2. i deployed ejb module successfully. but client program (web application ) giving error. i am trying to call local ejb. Error javax.naming.NamingException: ejb-local-ref: 'ejb/ejb2', with web.xml ejb-link: 'HelloBean' failed to resolve to an ejb with a LocalHome) ejb-jar.xml <enterprise-beans> | <session> | | <ejb-name>alr</ejb-name> | <home>com.HelloHome</home> | <remote>com.Hello</remote> | <local-home>com.HelloLocalHome</local-home> | <local>com.HelloLocal</local> | <ejb-class>com.HelloBean</ejb-class> | <session-type>Stateless</session-type> | <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> | </session> | </enterprise-beans> | </ejb-jar> jboss.xml <jboss> | <enterprise-beans> | <session> | <ejb-name>alr</ejb-name> | <jndi-name>jndi</jndi-name> | <method-attributes></method-attributes> | </session> | </enterprise-beans> | <assembly-descriptor></assembly-descriptor> | <resource-managers> | | </resource-managers> | </jboss> web.xml ejb related code <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/alr</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <local-home>com.HelloLocalHome </local-home> | <local>com.HelloLocal</local> | <ejb-link>HelloBean</ejb-link> | </ejb-local-ref> jboss-web.xml <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/alr</ejb-ref-name> | <local-jndi-name>jndi</local-jndi-name> | | </ejb-ref> | client jsp page Properties props = new Properties(); | props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, | "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, | "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); | props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://127.0.0.1:1099"); | | | Context ctx = new InitialContext(props); | | System.out.println("It;s ok"); | | | HelloLocalHome home=(HelloLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java/env/ejb/alr"); | HelloLocal bean = home.create(); | String hello= bean.hello(); | bean.remove(); | ctx.close(); What is the wrong in above code. Please tell me. I have been trying for this. some issues: 1. If i don't write optional jboss.xml what is the optional jndi name for jboss4.0.2 2. while calling local ejb on same machine, jndi properties are not required. can you confirm? Advanced thanks.
