Hi all,

...........

the client ejb call code is on below:

The server ejb has been deployed successfully on JBoss, and has published the JNDI resource as below:

2018-02-02 13:39:34,133 INFO  [org.jboss.as.ejb3.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) WFLYEJB0473: JNDI bindings for session bean named 'DomainObjectServiceBean' in deployment unit 'subdeployment "security-maintenance-ejb.jar" of deployment "security-maintenance-ejb-ear.ear"' are as follows:

  java:global/security-maintenance-ejb-ear/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean!xxxxxxx.security.service.DomainObjectService

  java:app/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean!xxxxxxx.security.service.DomainObjectService

  java:module/DomainObjectServiceBean!xxxxxxx.security.service.DomainObjectService

  java:jboss/exported/security-maintenance-ejb-ear/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean!xxxxxxxx.security.service.DomainObjectService

  java:global/security-maintenance-ejb-ear/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean

  java:app/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean

  java:module/DomainObjectServiceBean

This error is thrown when starting JBoss7.1, but the client ejb can be deployed and called server ejb successfully when JBoss already started, it's strange!

also, if i change the prefix from ejb: to  java:global as below, and there is no such error thrown when starting JBoss:

@EJB(mappedName = "java:global/security-maintenance-ejb-ear/security-maintenance-ejb/DomainObjectServiceBean!xxxxxx..security.service.DomainObjectService")

So could anyone to explain why using prefix ejb: to call will be failed when starting JBoss7.1? this issue is not exist in JBoss7.0 when starting, thanks!
