Hi, I wish to add some details, I've written a simple standalone application to call the ejb deloyed in the remote cluster. I initialized the InitialContext in the following way Properties jndiProps = new Properties(); jndiProps.setPropertyContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); jndiProps.setPropertyContext.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); jndiProps.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://node1:1100, jnp://node2:1100"); InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(jndiProps); and it works fine, the ejbs are found and called correctly.
