I followed the instructions at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/EJB+invocations+from+a+remote+server+instance

but I cant get it to work.  Basically I have 2 jars, Test.jar and Test2.jar.  Test2.jar is deployed on a remote server that is running Jboss AS 7.2 and Test.jar and Test2.jar are deployed on the local server also running Jboss AS 7.2

I have configured the two instances of jboss according to the instructions.  See below

When the Client runs it looks up the ejb on the local server and not the remote server.

To run the test an MDB invokes BeanClient.callRemoteBean.  I would expect it to lookup the remote bean and write a file into the /home/redhat/ directory on the remote server but instead it looks up the ejb on the local server and writes the file locally.  If I remove Test2.jar on the local server it fails with an error cant find the EJB.

Anyone have any idea?

Here is the code and jboss stuff:

REMOTE Server (the one with the Remote Bean) running JBOSS 7.2
---------------------------------------------------------------

Per the instructions I added a user.

./add-user.sh
What type of user do you wish to add?
a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
b) Application User (application-users.properties)
enter: b
Enter the details of the new user to add.
Realm (ApplicationRealm) :
Username : user1234
Password : SOMEPASSSWORD#
Re-enter Password : SOMEPASSSWORD#
What roles do you want this user to belong to? (Please enter a comma separated list, or leave blank for none)[ ]:
About to add user 'remoteuser' for realm 'ApplicationRealm'
Is this correct yes/no? yes
Added user 'user1234' to file '/opt/jboss-as-7.2.0.Final/standalone/configuration/application-users.properties'
Added user 'user1234' to file '/opt/jboss-as-7.2.0.Final/domain/configuration/application-users.properties'
Added user 'user1234' with roles  to file '/opt/jboss-as-7.2.0.Final/standalone/configuration/application-roles.properties'
Added user 'user1234' with roles  to file '/opt/jboss-as-7.2.0.Final/domain/configuration/application-roles.properties'
Is this new user going to be used for one AS process to connect to another AS process?
e.g. for a slave host controller connecting to the master or for a Remoting connection for server to server EJB calls.
yes/no? yes
To represent the user add the following to the server-identities definition <secret value="VmVyXXXxNG5kIt=" />

Test2.jar is deployed to the REMOTE server and has:

BeanRemote.java
---------------
package xx.test2;
import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface BeanRemote {
public void beanTest(String inputString);
}

@Stateless
@Pool(value="test-pool")
public class Bean implements BeanRemote {
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Bean.class);
public void beanTest(String inputString) {
  log.info(inputString);
  Path target = Paths.get("/home/redhat/Test.txt");
  try {
   @SuppressWarnings("unused")
   Path file = Files.createFile(target);
  }
  catch (IOException ex) {
   ex.printStackTrace();
  }
}
}
