You are still looking up the wrong name:

Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("FTPBean/remote");

Also, you never said that you were providing the JNDI initial context information within your code. If you do that you do not need a jndi.properties file - the file is ignored.

Peter,

Thanks man for the follow up, you're awesome. Seriously, bit time. I changed the code to:

public HelloClientPOJO(){
 try{
 Context jndiContext = getInitialContext();
 Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("FTPBean/remote");
 _ftpbean = (FTPBean)ref;
 }catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne){
 //nothing
 }
}

Still no joy, same error in the console:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy2
at HelloClientPOJO.(HelloClientPOJO.java:17)
at HelloClientPOJO.main(HelloClientPOJO.java:29)

That's a different error :)

EJB Proxies are castable to their business interface types, not to the bean implementation class. So instead:

(com.acmeco.serverapp.ftp.ejb3.FTPBeanRemote)ref;
