Lookup inside EJB

[jmwong]

I have a problem looking up EJB homes from inside a different EJB. I'm using this code inside a servlet:

Context initial = new InitialContext();
Object objref = initial.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Sensor");
sensorHome =
(SensorHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, SensorHome.class);

It works fine, but using the same code inside an EJB fails with --javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb not bound

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Make sure you've set up your ejb references in the ejb-jar.xml correctly. Namespace java:comp/env is private to the bean as is setup based on the declarations from the deployment descriptors.

Thanks for the clue. I ended up getting it to work by looking up by excluding the "java:comp/env/" part.

Not the best way to do it, but if it works for you and you're happy then go with it.
