how can i get access to a bean running on a application server from a application client that doesn't run i a container ( is not statred e.g. with suns runclient -client... ). what do i have to write in my lookup(..) call? lookup(java:comp/env/ejb...) doesn't work.

You can use the following code to get the reference to Context
* url - url of the app server
* username - username for accessing the appserver
* password - password for accessing the appserver
public static Context getInitialContext(String url, String username, String password)
Context context = null;
try
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
prop.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
context = new InitialContext(prop);
catch (NamingException ne)          
ne.printStackTrace();     
return context;          
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" is a class specific to WebLogic. You should refer to the documentation for the app server you are using for this fully qualified class name
