Hello all, I orginally posted this question on 'JBoss User -> Beginners Corner' and 'JBoss User -> EJB/JBoss' forums but got no response. I am hoping to get better luck with this forum. Can someone help me with a simple context lookup? I have a session bean deployed within JBoss 4.0.4 GA AS, JDK 5. My EJB code is as followed: | @Stateless | @Local(AuthenticatorLocal.class) | @Remote(AuthenticatorRemote.class) | public class AuthenticatorBean implements Authenticator { The server started and deployed this session bean without any problem. Here is a snippet of the log: anonymous wrote : 10:28:10,609 INFO [JmxKernelAbstraction] installing MBean: jboss.j2ee:ear=test.ear,jar=test.jar,name=AuthenticatorBean,service=EJB3 with dependencies: | 10:28:10,609 INFO [JmxKernelAbstraction] persistence.units:ear=test.ear,jar=test.jar,unitName=test | 10:28:10,625 INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: com.judots.test.AuthenticatorBean ejbName: AuthenticatorBean Properties p = new Properties(); | p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); | p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099"); | _intialCtx = new InitialContext(p); | | Object authenRef = _intialCtx.lookup("AuthenticatorBean"); This code failed with the following exception: anonymous wrote : javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: AuthenticatorBean not bound | at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:529) I tried using various name like "Authenticator", "Authenticator/remote", "AuthenticatorBean/remote" as well as using the physical address for the InitialContext but ended up with the same "'name' not found error. Can some one please help? Thanks -tony View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4026742#...
