Error while looking up EJB

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to develop EJBs 2.0 for my company.
creation and EJB deployment works fine, but when I try to look up my EJB, I get a NamingException.
EAR is deployed on a Websphere Application Server 5.1, and I would like to communicate with my EJB in a portlet. This portlet is deployed on a Websphere portal Server 5.1. WPS ans WAS servers are on the same system.
this is my JSP code :
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/fr/test/ejbtest/EJBTest2Home");
EJBTest2Home cacheHome = (EJBTest2Home)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, EJBTest2Home.class);I think my InitialContext is Websphere Portal Server so it cannot access to my EJB interface deployed on the Websphere Application Server 5.1
Thx for your help !

Hi,
I guess u had made 2 mistakes.
First one as to ur guess, u got the IntialContext wrong and secondly u should lookup the HomeObject using JNDI name instead of the fully qualified classpath.
I am not so sure of websphere5.1, but for most of the servers have diff context for webcontainer and BeanContainer
First u try to get it done changing the code to,
ctx.lookup("ejb/fr/test/ejbtest/EJBTest2Home");
to
ctx.lookup("JNDIName");
if it doesnt workout then do changes to the context as well
Thanks and Regards
