What Seam code processes the annotation to inject the lookup value? @EJB(name = "ejb/AddressService") | private AddressService addressService; I have tried just about every combination of name, mappedName, etc with no positive result. Seam doesn't ever complain about a NameNotFoundException -- the first sign of a problem is the NullPointerException when the code executes. From the looks of it, I'm doing everything I should be doing to configure the ejb-ref on my glassfish. Just for the heck of it, I just changed the name to something that clearly doesn't exist -- Seam didn't log any sort of exception to that effect. Maybe Seam isn't processing the annotation at all....
