In jboss alpha release I made a lookup to my ejb's in the following way whick worked fine:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);

I am trying the same with the jboss 3 RC1 and I have packaged the files into an ear file. It deploys without errors, but when I try to call the beans from within an jsp file as before, I get the following error:

java.rmi.ServerException: null; nested exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException


I reckon that the problem has to do with the localhost:1099 lookup name???
