referencing session bean from servlet.

[doubledenim]

In upgrading to 4.0.4.GA in the last day or so from 4.0.3SP1 if encountered a couple of issues in which i've had to refactor my code.
I've sorted most of the problems out but now i'm left with one that baffles me.

What I am trying to do is reference an ejb3 stateless session bean from within a servlet.
I'm doing this with:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
 MySession mySession = (MySession) ctx.lookup(MySession.class.getName());

However I keep getting a namenotfoundexception. I have looked to see if the object is actually available within my packaging and it is.
My packaging structure is below.

MainPackage.war
-->Ejb3Package.ejb3
------>SessionBean.class
------>Session.class (my stateless session bean)
-->TestSerlvlet.war
------>TestServlet.class (servlet that is referencing the session bean)

Any ideas why this would happen?

hi

jboss fulfills the latest sun spec, which changed the lookup.

try this

ctx.lookup("yourEJBProject/BeanName/remote|local");

thanks for that.

When you say yourEjbProject, do you mean the package path?

I've tried the following.

ctx.lookup("ejb/Session/remote");

and get "ejb not bound"

ctx.lookup("Session/remote");

and get "Session not bound"

What is the correct syntax for this?

Thanks

Its not necessary that you follow the default. You can provide the JNDI name for your bean using @RemoteBinding annotation. For ex

@Stateless
@RemoteBinding(jndiBinding="MyStatelessRemote")
public class MyStatelessBean implements MyStatelessRemote
{
----
----
---
}

Client Code

Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("MyStatelessRemote");
