and the error:

no ejb-link match, use jndi-name in jboss-web.xml

what if the jar is inside a ear?
so EAR has the ejb jar and web app war?

thanks

More info:

I'm trying to access local ejbs from normal java classes in my webapp inside the .war file through the java:comp namespace.

yeah, i don't really know what i'm doing but here we go:

With xdoclet, i define the local jndi name
===============================
* @ejb.bean
* name="service/AdminService"
* type="Stateless"
* display-name="Administration Service Session Bean"
* local-jndi-name="ejb/service/AdminServiceLocal"
* view-type="local"
*
===============================
jboss.xml


<ejb-name>service/AdminService</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>ejb/service/AdminServiceLocal</local-jndi-name>


===============================

jar -tf tds.ear

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
tds.jar
tds.war
META-INF/application.xml

======================================
AdminServiceDelegateImpl.java is a class inside the war file that tries to locate the AdminServiceEJB with the util class generated from xdoclet which uses
public static final String COMP_NAME="java:comp/env/ejb/service/AdminServiceLocal";

i tried diff combinations of <ejb-link> and only one jboss doesn't complain is
TradeDataService.jar#service/AdminService


thanks for you time

oh, TradeDataService.jar == tds.jar
sorry for the inconsistency

ok thanks,

i think this works
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/service/AdminServiceLocal</ejb-ref-name>

but what about ejb-ref for an external war for my test classes?

so i deploy tds.ear and test.war and i need to access the ejb from the classes in test.war?
