Yes I read the second paragraph, and several times (not being a smart ass, trying to fix my problem! :) ) FTPBean/remote isn't listed (as apparent from the snippet I posted earlier), however, I've tried: com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanLocal com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanRemote remote-com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanRemote local-com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanLocal Am I missing some context declaration thing? I'm new at this, but perhaps something like FTPBean/remote/com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanRemote or something? I am learning JBoss as I go on a pet project. As soon as I can get this hello world demo going I plan to do some serious study. Thanks for replying. yetti View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4223767#...
