Cannot get a remote context for Session Bean

[srose]

Here is my code :
...
public void init() throws ServletException {


try {
Hashtable<String,String> env = new Hashtable<String,String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://192.168.0.5:1099");
env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces" );
Context context = new InitialContext(env);
roleBean =(AppRoles) context.lookup("com.ejb.test.AppRoles");
} catch (NamingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
...

Here is the result:

The Jndi name which i am copying and pasting from the jboss application server log is:

"2005-07-07 15:15:44,286 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.ProxyDeployer] default remote binding has jndiName of com.ejb.test.AppRoles"

I can access my session bean successfully when running on the same jvm as jboss application server. I get this error when running the client in tomcat standalone and trying to access the remote interface from a different machine. The remote interface is running I am positive, I just cant get the context . Please help.

Ok ...thanks to bill, I figured out part of my problem which was forgeting to delete the @ Local piece in my remote interface. Now I have a different problem. When i try to use the first method in my class , I get a ...

Forgot to post my interface...

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Collection;
import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface AppRolesRemote extends Serializable {

public Collection getAppRoles();
public void addAppRole (String rolename, String roledesc);
public void deleteAppRole(String RoleId);
public void updateAppRole(String RoleId, String rolename, String roledesc);
public UserRoleBean getAppRole(String RoleId);

}

what version of JBoss is running your backend? Also, what exact steps did you take to install? I'm trying to determine what version of JBoss Remoting you are using...

Also, is the stack trace any longer? I need to know where the EOFException is being thrown.

[srose]

I am using 4.0.3 RC1. I installed the session bean and the entities beans using an ear file. I have a local interface which runs fine on the jboss application server. I installed a war file in the jboss-tomcat container and used local context look up and it works. This problem is occurring on a remote machine where i have a standalone version of tomcat(5.5.9) using the same war file with only the context lookup altered to use the remote interface. I am not at my office so I cant post the rest of the stack trace but will do so early tommorow. Thanks for all the help so far.

here is the stack trace for the IOException...

I figured it out! One of my objects which i use to copy over data from my entity bean inside my session bean wasnt serializable. I do this to keep my entity bean transparent to my client. Anyways, I made it serializable and it works perfectly.
