EJB jndi-name lookup and naming problem

[ericmacau]

Hello,

My jboss.xml deployment descriptor is like following:
====================================================
<?xml version="1.0"?>

false
<resource-managers />

<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>DBMessageEJB</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>eric/DBMessage</local-jndi-name>

</enterprise-beans>

=========================================


When I lookup the DBMessageEJB, I use the following statements:

InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("eric/DBMessage");

It's correct, right?


But some times, I read some example. It will add "java:comp/env" or "java:/" in front of the jndi-name.

But it failed to lookup when my statement was :
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/env/eric/DBMessage");
// Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("java:/eric/DBMessage"); =====> also not work


// javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: eric not bound <<<<<< Exception



Would you please to tell me how to use them and when?

I am using JBoss 3.0.4 with JDK1.4.1 in M$-Windows environment.

Best regards,
Eric

you need to specify <ejb-local-ref> in your ejb-jar.xml for lookups from the private java:comp/env ENC. See the DTD for details.
