Accessing EJB local interface from servlet got "ejb not boun

[gongqin]

The EJB has both remote and local interfaces. I tried to access the local interface from a servlet. The servlet is deployed in a .war file which is deployed together with the EJB's jar in a ear file. When I lookup the ejb local interface, I got "ejb not bound" error. I printed out the context, I only see "security" context in the "java:comp/env". What did I do wrong? The EJBs can be accessed *remotely* with no problem using another client. Why don't I see "ejb" context in JNDI lookup from the servlet? The code in my servlet is:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Context ejbCtx = (Context)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb");

I suspect a deployment descriptor error, or ear file packaging error, but not sure.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Forgot to mention my environment.

I am using jboss 3.0.6, jdk 1.4.1.

Thanks.

You haven't defined the <ejb-local-ref> in web.xml?

Thank you! That was what's missing. Jboss is a little weird. It doesn't need the jar file name before the ejb name in the ejb-link. Took me a while to figure out.

Thanks again.
