Session Bean lookup from a JSP

[john_witz]

Hello

i have one question.
How is the standard way to lookup a sessionbean from a JSP Page?

I do this like the following code:

cal = (StatelessCalculator) ic.lookup(StatelessCalculator.class.getName());

in Glassfish it works but in JBoss it doesn´t. I get the following error:

2006-08-18 14:21:11,822 INFO [STDOUT] Couldn't create calculator
bean.de.witzens.session.StatelessCalculator not bound

You have to look up the session bean by its JNDI name. From the code you posted, it appears that Glassfish, either by default or by convention, uses the class name of the session bean as the JNDI name.

In JBoss, you provide a META-INF/jboss.xml file in your ejb jar file, and that file contains a jndi-name tag to give the session bean a name in the global JNDI namespace. Additionally, in the WEB-INF/web.xml file and WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml file you can provide name to use for the ENC (enterprise naming context) namespace (e.g, java:/comp/env/...).

Here are some resources that provide examples or more information:
