Ejb reference not bound when calling a stateless bean in jboss

Question

hi there !
i am trying to deploy a simple stateless session bean in Jboss3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12
my bean is successfully deployed but when it is looked up in a jsp i am getting an exception as below :
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException ejb not bound
my ejb-jar.xml is as follows :
<session>
<display-name>FirstEJB</display-name>
<ejb-name>First</ejb-name>
<home>com.ejb.session.FirstHome</home>
<remote>com.ejb.session.First</remote>
<ejb-class>com.ejb.session.FirstEJB</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
jboss.xml is as follows:
<jboss>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>First</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/First</jndi-name>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
my jsp is as follows :
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"localhost:1099");
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces" );
props.put("java.naming.rmi.security.manager","yes");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
System.out.println("Before LookUp");
FirstHome home = (FirstHome)ctx.lookup("session.First");
System.out.println("LookUp Successfull");
First bean = home.create();
Can anyone fix this ?
Thanx in Advance

Hi,
hi Vicky !
thanx again for ur response.
i created a Demo.jar file as u said.
and now where should i place my JSP ?
first i will tell u my folder structure
<jboss-home>/server/default/deploy/index.war
index.war has the following
firstEJB.jsp
Web-inf/web.xml
Web-inf/jboss-web.xml
Web-inf/lib/First.jar
First.jar file has my home , remote , bean classes.
and ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml files
web.xml has the <welcome-file-list>
jboss-web.xml has the <context-root>/</context-root>
plz tell me where i have messed up my code.
i have created the Demo.jar file now as u said.
so plz tell me where should i place my jsp file.
thanx

Since your application is having the jsp and ejb hence the deployment should be done as per the J2EE specification, where you have
1)web-module
2)ejb-module
3)appliction-client module
4)JCA(It is included in J2EE1.3+)
Now follow the following steps:
1)Demo.ear folder
2)Create META-INF/application.xml
3)Put your Demo.war and Demo.jar in Demo.ear
4)Demo.jar and Demo.war should be as expalined earlier.Also no need to place the ejb related classes in the WEB-INF/lib of Demo.war.
5)Write the following contents in the applicaiton.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application_1_2.dtd">
<application>
     <display-name>Project</display-name>     
     <module>
     <ejb>
     Demo.jar
     </ejb>
     </module>     
     <module>
          <web>
               <web-uri>Demo.war</web-uri>
               <context-root>/demo</context-root>
          </web>
     </module>
</application>
6)You can create the compressed form of ear or keep it exploded in the Jboss/server/default/Demo.ear
7)Note the console for the results of deplotment
8)call http://localhost:8080/demo/yourjsp.jsp
Hope now I have explained in the detail and it should work now.
Regards
Vicky
