How do I lookup an EJB 3.0 Session bean from servlet or JSP?

Question

Does anyone knows how can I invoke an EJB from a servlet or JSP ?
I deployed a simple EJB on a Oracle Application Server 10g release 10.1.3 and I'm working with JDeveloper 10.1.3. I deployed the files via JDeveloper, and I didn´t specify any orion-ejb-jar.xml or ejb-jar.xml file
After deployment, the orion-ejb-jar.xml look like this in the server:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<orion-ejb-jar xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/orion-ejb-jar-10_0.xsd" deployment-version="10.1.3.0.0" deployment-time="10b49516c8f" schema-major-version="10" schema-minor-version="0" >
<enterprise-beans>
<session-deployment name="HolaMundoEJB" location="HolaMundoEJB" local-location="HolaMundoEJB_HolaMundoEJBLocal" local-wrapper-name="HolaMundoEJBLocal_StatelessSessionBeanWrapper6" remote-wrapper-name="HolaMundoEJB_StatelessSessionBeanWrapper7" persistence-filename="HolaMundoEJB.home_default_group_1">
</session-deployment>
</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>
<default-method-access>
<security-role-mapping name="<default-ejb-caller-role>" impliesAll="true" />
</default-method-access>
</assembly-descriptor>
</orion-ejb-jar>
I'm trying to invoke the ejb in a servlet by doing the following:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, ....
Context context = new InitialContext();
HolaMundoEJB helloWorld =
(HolaMundoEJB)context.lookup("java:com/env/ejb/HolaMundoEJB");
String respuesta = helloWorld.sayHello("David");
When i invoke the servlet I catch a NamingException whose message says something
like this ....java:com/env/ejb/HolaMundoEJB not found in webLlamaEJB
I tried different paths for the lookup but nothing....
Can anyone help me with this topic? Thank you.

Please try the following code:
HelloEJBBean.java:
@Stateless(name="Hello")
@Remote(value={Hello.class})
public class HelloEJBBean implements Hello {  ... }
hello.jsp:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Hello h = (Hello)ctx.lookup("ejb/Hello");
web.xml:
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Hello</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<remote>fi.kronodoc.test.model.Hello</remote>
</ejb-ref>
i think you should also define jndi mappings for the references in orion-ejb-jar.xml and orion-web.xml but for some reason it seems to be working also without these.
