Problem with Embeddable EJB3

[mrhightech]

I have a stateless bean that I deploy and can lookup in a standard JBoss install. I try to test it with the embeddable ejb3 edition and the lookup returns null.

now... Just to make sure I am not missing something obvious.

I have @Resource EJBContext ctx;

...

ctx.lookup("ObjectName/local") <-- returns null

It should return an instance of the object right ? There is nothing different about the embedded version ?

ps. I HAVE to do a lookup, I cannot use @EJB for this.

Thanks

Daniel

yes, you are missing something, but not your fault...


EJBContext.lookup looks in the ENC of the EJB it is not a global JNDI lookup.

Have you bound the EJB within an ejb-ref? If not then you need to do a straight JNDI lookup of your EJB ref:


new InitialContext().lookup("BeanName/local");

Good! Indeed, using a new InitialContext() solves the problem.

This is apparently not the case in JBoss versus the embedded version. How is it different?

Thanks Bill.
