java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling

[gboro54]

Alright, I know this will sound silly but for the sake of testing we have the following situation:

1. An application(ear) exposing a remote ejb interface
2. An application(ear) invoking the remote interface
3. For testing purposes(to save a request to our firewall team), we deployed both to the same instance of jboss running.

With the above we get the following exception:

{code}
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:company-common-ear-1.0.3,modulename:company-common-jar,distinctname:] combination for invocation context org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext@431ab23

Is there a way to configure JBoss to handle this situation via configuration(we have configured the remote connection in the xml to point back at itself).

TIA

[jaikiran]

I don't really understand the question. Anyway, this has been marked as assumed answered. Did you really solve this issue?

[leonardo.devai]

I got this exact message today, and I solved it by using this:

jndiProps.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);

jndiProps.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");

Thanks, I started getting this yesterday.  Tried it but it doesn't help with my problem.  My problem may be slightly different, trying to do a JNDI lookup of a remote service (ejb) from my servlet.   Our startup servlets gets started and needs to use some services to get some background tasks rolling for the server.   This all worked on JBoss 4.2.3 but we are looking at migrating to AS7 and can't seem to load the service with JNDI on the server in the same JVM.

For example, here's the server logging all the bindings:

14:58:31,440 INFO  [org.jboss.as.ejb3.deployment.processors.EjbJndiBindingsDeploymentUnitProcessor] (MSC service thread 1-2) JNDI bindings for session bean named EnvironmentServiceBean in deployment unit subdeployment "infrastructureserver.jar" of deployment "pposstoreserver.ear" are as follows:

    java:global/pposstoreserver/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService

    java:app/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService

    java:module/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService

    java:jboss/exported/pposstoreserver/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService

    java:global/pposstoreserver/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean

    java:app/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean

    java:module/EnvironmentServiceBean

Here's my log statement of the jndi name I formatted for the lookup:

14:58:37,886 INFO  [stdout] (MSC service thread 1-4) ServiceFactory Lookup for pposstoreserver/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService

And here's the server saying it can't find the service:

14:58:37,888 ERROR [] (MSC service thread 1-4) com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.base.service.ServiceNotFoundException: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: pposstoreserver/infrastructureserver/EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService -- service jboss.naming.context.java.pposstoreserver.infrastructureserver."EnvironmentServiceBean!com.jda.portfolio.infrastructure.server.service.environment.EnvironmentService"

Leonardo Devai, your solution fixed the problem for me! Thanks so much for posting that.
