Going by the log messages that you posted, i am confident that the bean is being deployed. You are looking in the wrong jndi namespace for your bean. Do the following: - Go to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console - On the page that comes up, search for service=JNDIView - Click on that - On the page that comes up click on the Invoke button beside the list() method - The next page will contain the JNDI tree view. Post it here. You will find your bean under the "Global JNDI namespace" on that page. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4057227#...
