Cant' create Session Bean from Entity Bean

[ospyros]

Hi,

I am using JBOss 2.4 and have succesfully deployed both my entity and session beans. Here is the problem:

I have an entity bean that calls a (stateless) session bean. To obtain a reference to the session bean I call (in the setEntityContext of the entity bean):

_availabilityHome = (AvailabilityHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Availability"), AvailabilityHome.class);

And get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException. The previous statement tries to acquire the home interface of an Entity bean, and works fine:

ServiceTypeHome = (ServiceTypeHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/ServiceType"), ServiceTypeHome.class);

In addition, if I create the session bean from a client:

Object ref = ctx.lookup("Availability");
AvailabilityHome availabilityHome = (AvailabilityHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, AvailabilityHome.class);

It works fine too...

Thanks in advance
