InitialContext.lookup throwing NameNotFoundException with jb

[scotttam]

My call to ctx.lookup() is failing with a NameNotFoundException -not bound when trying to retrieve the remote interface to my stateless session bean. This seemed to be working with jboss-4.0.3SP1. Anyone have any idea on what I might be missing?

I have the following code:

 public static AppManager getManager() {
 try {
 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 return (AppManager)ctx.lookup(AppManager.class.getName());
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 return null;
 }
 }

This is trying to get back a session bean with a remote interface:

@Remote
public interface AppManager {

 public List getCampaigns();
 public void createCampaign(Campaign c);
}

@Stateless
public class AppManagerBean implements AppManager {

 @PersistenceContext(unitName="admanagement")
 protected EntityManager em;


 public List getCampaigns() {
 return em.createQuery("from Campaign c").getResultList();
 }


 public void createCampaign(Campaign c) {
 em.persist(c);
 }

 public Campaign updateCampaign(Campaign c) {
 return em.merge(c);
 }

When the call to ctx.lookup() is made, I get a NameNotFoundException - not bound:

The session bean lookup rules changed in the final draft of the spec, and hence between AS 4.0.3SP1 and AS 4.0.4. According to the JBoss docs:

"The biggest change is for the session bean client. You can no longer use the bean interface FQN as the JNDI name to obtain a bean stub. Instead, you have to use a JNDI string composed of the EAR file base name (if there is an EAR file), theunqualified bean implementation class name, and the "local/remote" distinction of the stub interface. Or, alternatively, you can use the @RemoteBinding and @LocalBinding annoltations to specify an arbitary JNDI name for the bean. See this tutorial for more details."

The source link for this info can be found here:
http://docs.jboss.com/TrailBlazer/ejb3/EJB3RC3toRC5.html

Try appending your application / context name to the jndi lookup, such as

return (AppManager)ctx.lookup("appname/" + AppManager.class.getName());

I think this notation change was added in the newer EJB3 implementations...

My mistake... I had not seen the migration posting on the wiki... thanks for your help!
