EJB Reference could not be resolved (javax.naming.NameNotFoundException)

Question

I am new to EJBs and am trying to get a simple Java client to run which I've generated from a EJB3.0 session bean.
The code for the client (LoanAppFacadeClient.java) is
package buslogic;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
public class LoanAppFacadeClient {
public static void main(String [] args) {
try {
final Context context = getInitialContext();
LoanAppFacade loanAppFacade = (LoanAppFacade)context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/LoanAppFacade");
// Call any of the Remote methods below to access the EJB
// System.out.println( loanAppFacade.getLoans( ) );
loanAppFacade.addLoan( "Galactic Loans", 30, "fixed", 6.25 );
String ssn = "123-12-1234";
System.out.println(loanAppFacade.getCreditRating( ssn ));
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
// Standalone OC4J connection details
env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "oracle.j2ee.naming.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "oc4jadmin" );
env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome1" );
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://localhost:23791/LoanApp");
return new InitialContext( env );
When the trying to run the client I get a warning:
"WARNING: EJB Reference "ejb/LoanAppFacade" could not be resolved."
followed by the error
"javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:comp/env/ejb/LoanAppFacade not found in Lab1_BusinessServices-app-client"
When the client was created I right-clicked on the session bean (LoanAppFacadeBean which implements LoanAppFacade) and chose New Sample Java Client.
This automatically creates the java client and also created the following xml file (application-client.xml)
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<application-client xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application-client_1_4.xsd" version="1.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">
<display-name>Lab1_BusinessServices-app-client</display-name>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/LoanAppFacade</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<remote>buslogic.LoanAppFacade</remote>
<ejb-link>LoanAppFacade</ejb-link>
</ejb-ref>
</application-client>
Could someone please help me to fix these errors?
Thanks,
Andrew

I used windows for years whereby I stored all photos in folders. As macs don't use this concept I am finding it hard to organize my photos.
You can do this on your Mac too. Just don't use iPhoto. But iPhoto is a lot more flexible.
For instance:
I usually sort them by month so when I say move to an album I mean I create an album called for example '2013 March' so I can easily find specific photos/videos.
Click on the Magnifying Glass lower left to reveal the search box. Then click on the magnifying glass in the search box, and select Date. Now you can instantly find all the photos from a particular month, or day.
File -> New Smart Album will allow you to create an automatic album for any date or date range you choose.
Select one of the affected videos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it play?
