VPInfoDAOImpl vpdao = VPInfoDAOImpl.getInstance(); This won't work; here you are constructing a plain object, not accessing an EJB instance from the container. InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); | VPInfoDAOLocal dao = (VPInfoDAOLocal) ctx.lookup("VPInfoDB/VpInfoDAOBean/local"); What's not working here? Are you able to perform the lookup, cast, and invoke? S, ALR View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4129704#...
