Hi, I got one more additional information here: When I run the BPEL WS from SOAP-UI, the object of EntitySchedulerServiceFactory is having its timerEntityHomeJndiName as "java:comp/env/ejb/LocalTimerEntityBean" and the timerEntityHome object is populated. When I run the BPEL WS through API, the object of EntitySchedulerServiceFactory is having its timerEntityHomeJndiName as "java:comp/env/ejb/LocalTimerEntityBean" and the timerEntityHome object is NULL.
