Lookup ejb by its COMP_NAME

[kanth_seenu]

I have given the code that I used to lookup a bean by its COMP_NAME, after googling for several hours, posting this here to get some clues atleast.

Code:

Context initial = new InitialContext();
Object objref = initial.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/LicenseVerifier");
LicenseVerifierLocalHome home = (LicenseVerifierLocalHome) objref;
LicenseVerifierLocal license = home.create();

Exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: env not bound

JNDI View
java:comp namespace of the LicenseVerifier bean:
+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- LicenseVerifier[link -> LicenseVerifierLocalHome] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| +- security (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- subject[link -> java:/jaas/SecurityPolicy/subject] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)
| | +- security-domain[link -> java:/jaas/SecurityPolicy] (class: javax.naming.LinkRef)

same exception even when I tried

InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext();
Context ejbCtx = (Context) iniCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb");

I think you misunderstood something.
You'll have to add the ejb-local-ref to the bean where you want to lookup LicenseVerfifierFrom from by COMP_NAME.

Just one example from my code base.
In SalesOrderImportMDB I have this for XDoclet to generate the deployment descriptor entries:

 * @ejb.ejb-external-ref view-type="local" type="Session"
 * ref-name="ejb/MailServiceLocal"
 * home="ejb.session.core.MailServiceLocalHome"
 * business="ejb.session.core.MailServiceLocal"
 * jndi-name="test/MailServiceLocal"

ejb-jar.xml:

<message-driven>
 <display-name>SalesOrderImportMDB</display-name>
...
 <ejb-local-ref >
 <ejb-ref-name>ejb/MailServiceLocal</ejb-ref-name>
 <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
 <local-home>ejb.session.core.MailServiceLocalHome</local-home>
 <local>ejb.session.core.MailServiceLocal</local>
 </ejb-local-ref>
...
</message-driven >

jboss.xml:

<message-driven>
 <ejb-name>SalesOrderImportMDB</ejb-name>
...
 <ejb-local-ref>
 <ejb-ref-name>ejb/MailServiceLocal</ejb-ref-name>
