Failed to retrieve stub from server

[stetsonab]

I posted this question already in a different forum (http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=74658&start=0) and apologize if you already ran accross it. But there was a similar problem stated before I posted mine which remained unanswered, so I thought, this may be the better forum to pose the question.

I am trying to set up an ejb ws client but I receive the following error:


javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to retrieve stub from server localhost:8180 [Root exception is java.io.EOFException]

Can anyone help me out? Your help is highly appreciated!

I was able to get passed the error. Apparently I used the wrong port number. The jnp port was different from the port jboss is running from. But now I am receiving another strange error:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: comp not bound

I deployed the ejb ws client without problems and there are no errors on server startup. I also looked into the jmx console under Jndi View and found the bean:

java:comp namespace of the CATsClientBean bean:
+- env (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| +- service (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- IRISServiceFacade (class: org.jboss.webservice.client.ServiceReferenceable)

So what am I doing wrong? Here is how I initalize my context:
Context c = null;

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1199");
try{
c = new InitialContext(props);
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("CATsClientBean: can't get initial context.");
}try{
CATsEndpointService service = (CATsEndpointService)c.lookup("java:comp/env/service/IRISServiceFacade");
