I have created an ear ?SampleEnterprise.ear? which consists of an ejb jar ?SampleEnterprise-ejb.jar? and a war file ?SampleEnterprise-war.war?. The ear file was deployed on a JBoss 4.0.5 server. There is a EJB 3.0 stateless session bean ?EmployeeServiceBean? present in the ejb jar file which I need to access from a servlet ?EmployeeServlet? in the war file Here?s the code from the servlet used to lookup the session bean | try { | Properties properties = new Properties(); | properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); | properties.put("java.naming.provider.url","localhost:1099"); | Context context = new InitialContext(properties); | EmployeeServiceRemote empService = (EmployeeServiceRemote)context.lookup("SampleEnterprise/EmployeeServiceBean/remote"); | } catch (Exception e) {} | Here's the session bean | package sessionBeans; | import entityBeans.Employee; | import javax.ejb.Stateless; | import javax.persistence.EntityManager; | import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext; | | @Stateless() | public class EmployeeServiceBean implements EmployeeServiceLocal, EmployeeServiceRemote { | | @PersistenceContext() | EntityManager em; | | public EmployeeServiceBean() {} | | public Employee createEmployee(int id, String name, int salary) { | Employee emp = new Employee(id); | emp.setName(name); | emp.setSalary(salary); | em.persist(emp); | return emp; | } | here's the JndiView | Global JNDI Namespace | | +- TopicConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.naming.LinkRefPair) | +- jmx (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | +- invoker (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | | +- RMIAdaptor (proxy: $Proxy42 implements interface org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptor,interface org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptorExt) | | +- rmi (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | | +- RMIAdaptor[link -> jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef) | +- HTTPXAConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyXAConnectionFactory) | +- ConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionFactory) | +- UserTransactionSessionFactory (proxy: $Proxy12 implements interface org.jboss.tm.usertx.interfaces.UserTransactionSessionFactory) | +- HTTPConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionFactory) | +- XAConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyXAConnectionFactory) | +- UserTransaction (class: org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ClientUserTransaction) | +- UILXAConnectionFactory[link -> XAConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef) | +- UIL2XAConnectionFactory[link -> XAConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef) | +- queue (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | +- A (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- testQueue (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- ex (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- DLQ (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- D (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- C (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | | +- B (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyQueue) | +- topic (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | +- testDurableTopic (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyTopic) | | +- testTopic (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyTopic) | | +- securedTopic (class: org.jboss.mq.SpyTopic) | +- console (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | | +- PluginManager (proxy: $Proxy43 implements interface org.jboss.console.manager.PluginManagerMBean) | +- UIL2ConnectionFactory[link -> ConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef) | +- HiLoKeyGeneratorFactory (class: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.keygenerator.hilo.HiLoKeyGeneratorFactory) | +- UILConnectionFactory[link -> ConnectionFactory] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef) | +- QueueConnectionFactory (class: org.jboss.naming.LinkRefPair) | +- UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory (class: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.keygenerator.uuid.UUIDKeyGeneratorFactory) | however the EmployeeServiceBean does not appear in the above listing and I get the following exception when the lookup code is executed javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: SampleEnterprise not bound do i need to add any references to the session bean in the following files? jboss-app.xml (is a <loader-repository> required?) jboss.xml jboss-web.xml ejb-jar.xml web.xml or have i missed out something else? there aren't any exceptions during deployment View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4099814#...
