[EAP6.3] Local JNDI lookup does not work

[vquartara]

Hi everybody,

I have deployed an EAR with two modules: ejb and web. The console says:

INFO  [org.jboss.as.ejb3.deployment.processors.EjbJndiBindingsDeploymentUnitProcessor] JNDI bindings for session bean named NavigazioneBDFacade in deployment unit subdeployment "visura-bke-ejb.jar" of deployment "visura-bke-ear.ear" are as follows:

    java:global/visura-bke-ear/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD

   java:app/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD

    java:module/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD

    java:jboss/exported/visura-bke-ear/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD

    java:jboss/exported/visura-bke-ear/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBDHome

I'm trying to lookup a stateful session EJB 2.1 from the web module, by doing:

NavigazioneBDFacadeLocal navigazioneBDFacadeLocal = (NavigazioneBDFacadeLocal) new InitialContext().lookup ("java:app/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD");

This way I always get a "NameNotFoundException".

Instead, if I use java:global/visura-bke-ear/visura-bke-ejb/NavigazioneBDFacade!it.visura.bke.business.navigazione.ejb.facade.INavigazioneBD

The lookup works properly.

Can someone explain why?

The class from within I'm doing the lookup is a Quartz Job (eg. a pojo)

Thanks

Found the solution:

a Quartz Job runs in a thread that is not managed by the application server, so the namespace java:app is not available. Only java:global is visible from unmanaged threads.

The java:app namespace is visible only from managed threads (eg: a Servlet)

Bye
