Cannot lookup EJB during server startup

[ozzieg]

It seems that I have no control over the Naming Service's startup order. Is there a way to force the NamingService to startup before the EJBs are deployed so that I can lookup from my Web? I am using SpringFramework and intiailizing my stateless session bean proxies. The code fails trying to lookup anything from JNDI tree because the NamingService hasn't started yet.

Thanks for you help,
Ozzie

The naming service is one of the first services deployed.
It is certainly deployed before anything in "deploy".

You need to provide more details.

I get a ConnectionRefusedException for iiop: if I do any kind of JNDI lookup. Why would this be happening then if the JNDI service is running? It doesn't happen once the server is fully started...

And is the orb initialized when you try to access it?
