This is a copy of the question posted here.

Here's an example of what I need to accomplish. There is a remote EJB interface with a dummy method. The interface is implemented by two stateful EJBs, and the first one needs to perform a lookup of the second:

@Stateful
@Remote(BeanI.class)
public class Bean1 implements BeanI {
     @Override public void doSomething() {
          try {
               System.out.println("Bean1");
               JndiManager.lookup(Bean2.class).doSomething();
          } catch (Exception ex) { ... }
     }
}


@Stateful 
@Remote(BeanI.class) 
public class Bean2 implements BeanI { 
     @Override public void doSomething() { 
          System.out.println("Bean2"); 
     }
}

The helper class JndiManager is as follows:

public class JndiManager {
 private static Hashtable<String, Object> jndiProps; 
     static { 
          jndiProps = new Hashtable<>(); 
          jndiProps.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming"); 
     }  


     public static BeanI lookup(Class<?> cls) throws NamingException { 
          final String name = "ejb:/TestServer//" + cls.getSimpleName() + "!" + 
               BeanI.class.getName() + "?stateful"; 
          Context ctx = new InitialContext(jndiProps); 
          return (BeanI) ctx.lookup(name); 
     }
}

The client application performs a lookup of Bean1 and invokes its method. Here's the jboss-ejb-client.properties file:

remote.clusters=ejb 
remote.cluster.ejb.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false 
remote.cluster.ejb.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false 
remote.cluster.ejb.username=someuser 
remote.cluster.ejb.password=somepass1~  


endpoint.name=client-endpoint 
remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false 
remote.connections=default 
remote.connection.default.host=localhost 
remote.connection.default.port=8080 
remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false 
remote.connection.default.username=someuser
remote.connection.default.password=somepass1~

Bean1 is invoked successfully, but its lookup of Bean2 fails. The error is:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: EJBCLIENT000029: No cluster context available for cluster named ejb 
line -> JndiManager.lookup(Bean2.class).doSomething();

It works fine in standalone mode, but fails in domain mode (running a single, master node). Also, everything works great in JBoss EAP 6.1.

Any help would be appreciated.
