Java Web Start jws

[cleary]

Has anybody successfully deployed a client application that uses java web start?

I have a html in my war file that has a link to a jnlp. This kicks off java web start to invoke/update the Swing application to the client. The program runs but when I try to call an EJB I get the following error. The program runs fine in a shell window calling the EJB ( on a remote system ). The error appears to happen at this statement:
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("Mailer");


Good response running from shell:
Got context in orderpart
Got reference
Creating Mailer Object from Home interface
Just sent out an email.

Error message when running from Java Web Start via JBoss:
Got context in orderpart

Here's my code:
// Get a naming context
InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
System.out.println("Got context in orderpart");

// Get a reference to the Mailer Bean
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("Mailer");
System.out.println("Got reference");

// Get a reference from this to the Bean's Home interface
MailerHome home = (MailerHome)
PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, MailerHome.class);

System.out.println("Creating Mailer Object from Home interface");
// Create an Mailer object from the Home interface
Mailer mailer = home.create();

System.out.println("Sending out an email.");
mailer.sendMail("[e-mail]","some message");
System.out.println("Just sent out an email.");
