hi all,

i'm developing an application under JBoss 5.0.0 with EJB3.
I'm using stateful EJBs, what works really fine inside the AS (i'm calling them from a deployed web-app).
All JNDI lookups from the webapp do return Proxy-interfaces as expected.

I also try to get my EJBs from an J2SE-client.
But here i get only references to "javax.naming.Reference"-objects.
Where's my fault?


Output of my J2SE-application:

Context <javax.naming.InitialContext@6d632c2d>
>>>> jndi.properties
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jnp.interfaces
<<<<<

Proxy</CSDatabase/ServerWebClientRemote/remote> class<javax.naming.Reference>

J2SE-Clientapp (see jndi.properties in Output above):

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;


public class JNDITest {

 private Context context = null;
 private Properties contextProperties = null;

 public JNDITest() {
 }

 public void connect() throws Exception {
 if(context == null) {
 context = contextProperties == null ? new InitialContext() : new InitialContext(contextProperties);
 System.out.println("Context <"+context+">");
 System.out.println(">>>> jndi.properties");
 for(Object key : context.getEnvironment().keySet()) {
 System.out.println(key+"="+context.getEnvironment().get(key));
 }
 System.out.println("<<<<<");
 System.out.println("");
 }
 }

 public Object loadBean(String key) throws Exception {
 Object proxy = null;
 try {
 proxy = context.lookup(key);
 } catch(Exception excp) {
 System.out.println("Key<"+key+"> Proxy<"+proxy+"> Exception<"+excp.getMessage()+">");
 throw excp;
 }
 System.out.println("Proxy<"+key+"> class<"+proxy.getClass().getName()+">");
 return proxy;
 }


 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 JNDITest test = new JNDITest();
 test.connect();
 test.loadBean("/CSDatabase/ServerWebClientRemote/remote");
 }
}

Additional information:

- My EAR does not use JBoss-specific JARs (i want to stay portable).

 hibernate-annotations.jar (for setting indexes)
 log4j.jar
 commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar
 javaee.jar
 jsf-impl.jar
 jsf-api.jar
 jstl-1.2.jar

- My J2SE client only imports the necessary jars

 jnp-client.jar
 commons-logging.jar
 jboss-logging-spi.jar
 log4j.jar
 slf4j-jboss-logging.jar
 jboss-messaging-client.jar
 jboss-javaee.jar
 jboss-aop-client.jar
 jboss-mdr.jar

Thanks in advance
