Assign a local JNDI name for your bean, e.g.

&lt;jndi-name&gt;Customer&lt;/jndi-name&gt;
&lt;local-jndi-name&gt;LocalCustomer&lt;/local-jndi-name&gt;
&lt;/entity&gt;

and use this name for the lookup.

You cannot lookup local proxies from another process though (such as client.java). For this to work your bean must either define both local and remote interfaces or you should communicate through a remote facade to a local bean.
