what the difference between different jndi names

[rotbart]

Hello , group!
I am beginner in ejb (not beginner in java), and cannot understand the difference between jndi names.
For example , why in one case I can find the object , but cannot in other:
homeObj = context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Person");
homeObj = context.lookup("ejb/Person");

What is "java:comp/env/ejb/Person" ?

Can you point me for good jndi tutorial , I cannot find

Thank you very much!

Download a copy of 'Matering Enterprise Java Beans', there is a lot of information on JNDI.

I also have a question. I have managed to deploy my project just fine and also look it up. My question is how do i configure jboss so that i can use the local lookup(java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean)?

Have you read the JNDI sections in Mastering Enterprise Java Beans?

What is your client that is doing the lookup?

Ok, thanks. I'll read through the entire book! It seemed very nice, good explanaitons and easy to understand. I think i know how to solve my problem but i won't be able to test it out until sunday. i'll drop you a note if it works (and a longer one if it doesn't :) )
