"env not bound" with EJB calling another EJB
i have this problem when one EJB calls another EJB using the local interface. strange thing is i have another EJB that i access from other EJBs and it works. i've checked my xdoclet tags, deployment descriptors, ran the code in debug, and i can't figure out why one works and the other doesn't.
i'm using the COMP_NAME (java:comp/env/ejb/RulesEnginePvt_EJB) in xdoclet. the error occurs in the InitialContext.lookup(name). if i change the lookup to JNDI_NAME, it works fine. i use COMP_NAME for looking up my other EJB locally and it works. i believe i've read that COMP_NAME is the preferred method. here is my error:

we were seeing the error on jboss 3.2.2 and xdoclet 1.2. i have since switched to jboss 4.0.2 and xdoclet 1.2.3 and still the same error. i have even debugged the code and everything looks like it should work.
any ideas?
thanks!
