You shouldn't see your EJB in the HA-JNDI namespace. In practice, little or nothing gets bound there; the AS itself binds nothing there. HA-JNDI primarily works by allowing a client to connect to any node in the cluster and do a lookup, and it internal can communicate around the cluster to find the requested binding in the Global JNDI namespace on any node. It can also find things in the HA-JNDI namespace, but little or nothing is bound there. Don't ever deploy a file named jndi.properties inside the AS; you'll likely break the internal functioning of the AS. Try removing that and see if your problems go away. If your only problem is only finding your bean in the Global JNDI namespace, then you don't have a problem. :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4126414#...
