not bound exception - it seems to be a favorite

[bgoss]

I'm embarrassed to ask to board for help but I'm getting very frustrated with a ejb not bound exception when attempting to use a local lookup from a servlet. Following are the pertinent file information:

jboss 3.0.4 w/tomcat, win2000k.

ejb-jar.xml snippet:

<display-name>User</display-name>
<ejb-name>User</ejb-name>
<ejb-class>com.kaiser.pas.user.UserBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/User</ejb-ref-name>
com.kaiser.pas.user.UserHome
com.kaiser.pas.user.UserRemote
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<ejb-link>User</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/local/User</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>com.kaiser.pas.user.UserLocalHome</local-home>
com.kaiser.pas.user.UserLocal
<ejb-link>User</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>
<transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/DB2DS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Application</res-auth>
</resource-ref>



jboss.xml snippet:

<ejb-name>User</ejb-name>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/DB2DS</res-ref-name>
<resource-name>DataSourceRef</resource-name>
<jndi-name>java:/DB2DS</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>



web.xml snippet:
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/User</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
com.kaiser.pas.user.beans.UserHome
com.kaiser.pas.user.beans.UserRemote
<ejb-link>User</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>

and
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/local/User</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>com.kaiser.pas.user.beans.UserLocalHome</local-home>
com.kaiser.pas.user.beans.UserLocal
<ejb-link>User</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>


From JNDIView (which seems to me indicates the ejb's are bound to local/<ejb-name>):
java:comp namespace of the Program bean:
+- UserTransaction (class: javax.transaction.UserTransaction)
+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- jdbc (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- DB2DS[link -> java:/DB2DS] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- Program[link -> Program] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| | +- local (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | | +- Program[link -> local/Program] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)

java:comp namespace of the Member bean:
+- UserTransaction (class: javax.transaction.UserTransaction)
+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- jdbc (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- DB2DS[link -> java:/DB2DS] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- local (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | | +- Member[link -> local/Member] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| | +- Member[link -> Member] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)

java:comp namespace of the User bean:
+- UserTransaction (class: javax.transaction.UserTransaction)
+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- jdbc (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- DB2DS[link -> java:/DB2DS] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- local (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | | +- User[link -> local/User] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| | +- User[link -> User] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)


call from servlet:
Properties ejbENV=System.getProperties();
ejbENV.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
ejbENV.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "localhost:1099");
ejbENV.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
System.setProperties(ejbENV);

try
{
ctx=new InitialContext(ejbENV);

userHome=(UserLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/local/User");
userLocal=userHome.create();
programHome=(ProgramLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/local/Program");
programLocal=programHome.create();
destinationHome=(DestinationLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/local/Destination");
destinationLocal=destinationHome.create();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("ValidateLoginServlet: Can't connect to EJB's! Exception message="+e.getMessage());
request.setAttribute("errormsg", "Can't connect to resources");
transferControl("/index.jsp", request, response);
return;
}

I have also tried:
userHome=(UserLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/local/User");

and other combinations (including using JNDI) to no avail. Every combination fails with a (as in the case above)
11:58:34,004 INFO [STDOUT] ValidateLoginServlet: Can't connect to EJB's! Exception message=local not bound

As I stated above, I'm a bit embarrassed to bring this here but am stymied and hope someone can point out my mistake.

Thanks in advance
