Your code will work only if TestEJB is also ejb, you can not inject (use @EJB) ejb refrence in classes which are not ejb's, to call ejb outside ejb container you schould write: | InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); | test object = (test)ctx.lookup("testjarname/testBean/local"); | replace testjarname with real your ear or jar name where bean is packed.
