Error when calling an EJB from a web sevice

Question

Hi all,
I am getting the following error while trying to the lookup for my session bean
com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Path to object does not exist at java:comp, the whole lookup name is java:comp/env/ejb/MyProcessorBean
here's a part of my code:
String WebserviceFunction()
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
BiasProcessorLocalHome orderHome =(BiasProcessorLocalHome)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/MyProcessorBean");
I am using NWDS Version: 7.0.09
SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
I did find some threads related to it but none has been answered or weren't
that helpful in solving my problem.
Thanks

Hi,
What is the implementation of your Web service? If it's another EJB then you have to define an ejb-local-ref in the deployment descriptor for that other EJB, like this:
<ejb-local-ref>
    <ejb-ref-name>ejb/MyProcessorBean</ejb-ref-name>
    <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
    <local-home>your.package.BiasProcessorLocalHome</local-home>
    <local>your.package.BiasProcessorLocal</local>
</ejb-local-ref>
If it's not a J2EE component, there is no java:comp environment naming context (ENC) available. In this case you can look up the EJB local home from the "localejbs/" context, e.g. "localejbs/provider.name/YourAppName/YourEjbName". By default the provider name is "sap.com".
