Hello,

I also got this error message while trying to get the Fibo tutorial up and running:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Lookup of java:comp/env/ failed

and I solved it, but I'm not sure, if this is the state-of-the-art solution.

I'm using:
Eclipse 3.1.2
JDK 1.5.0_06
JBOSS IDE 1.5.1.GA (JBossIDE-1.5.1.GA-ALL.zip from http://www.jboss.com/products/jbosside/downloads)
JBoss Application Server 4.0.4.GA

Now please don't laugh - it don't speak a single word chinese, but I got my solution from there:
http://www.eclipseworld.org/bbs/simple/index.php?t490.html
:-)

In the ComputeServlet's init() method I changed this code

Object ref = context.lookup("java:/comp/env/ejb/Fibo");

to this one:

Object ref = context.lookup("ejb/Fibo");

and voilà, the example from the tutorial runs.

It seems logical to me as the name shows up in
http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&name=jboss%3Aservice%3DJNDIView
(click on list() !!)

Hi,

I noticed that on a second machine I can use both variants, i.e. "java:/comp/env/ejb/Fibo" and "ejb/Fibo". Same configuration, same os (Win XP SP2). And I promise I didn't forget to repackage & redeploy. ;-)
Very strange...

Hi,

I must say that the tutorial may need some reviewing.
Within the jboss.xml code:

<session>
 <ejb-name>Fibo</ejb-name>
 <jndi-name>Fibo</jndi-name>
 <local-jndi-name>FiboLocal</local-jndi-name>
</session>

if I look at it carefully I see a jndi-name of "Fibo", not ejb/Fibo

I changed the jndi lookup to lookup("Fibo") and it worked.

The jboss-jmx-console as wondermike pointed out can provide insight:
go to the jboss service=JNDIView XMBean

invoke list()
if the Fibo bean is in the Global namespace then lookup("Fibo")
