An ejb local home needs to be accessed using an ejb-local-ref. For example, this ejb-jar.xml fragment shows the CallerBean referencing the CalleeBean:

      <session>
         <description>A secured echo session bean that calls a StatelessSessionLocal
            when its invokeEcho method is called.
         </description>
         <ejb-name>CallerBean</ejb-name>
         <home>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.CallerSessionHome</home>
         <remote>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.CallerSession</remote>
         <ejb-class>org.jboss.test.security.ejb.CallerBean</ejb-class>
         <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
         <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
         <ejb-local-ref>
            <ejb-ref-name>ejb/local/CalleeHome</ejb-ref-name>
            <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
            <local-home>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.StatelessSessionLocalHome</local-home>
            <local>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.StatelessSessionLocal</local>
            <ejb-link>CalleeBean</ejb-link>
         </ejb-local-ref>
      </session>
...
      <session>
         <description>A secured echo session bean that is called by CallerBean
         </description>
         <ejb-name>CalleeBean</ejb-name>
         <local-home>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.StatelessSessionLocalHome</local-home>
         <local>org.jboss.test.security.interfaces.StatelessSessionLocal</local>
         <ejb-class>org.jboss.test.security.ejb.CalleeBean</ejb-class>
         <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
         <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
      </session>

The ejb-local-ref/ejb-ref-name name of "ejb/local/CalleeHome" means that the CalleeBean local home will be bound under the java component environment naming context (java:comp/env) with that relative name:

   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
   StatelessSessionLocalHome home = (StatelessSessionLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/local/CalleeHome");
...

Why is there a "@xxxxxx" in my local ejb JNDI name?
