How to use local interface in my easy code ?

Question

hi everybody
I work on an ejb project. My code is like that to test remote interface (and it works) :
public class TestStudent {
   Properties properties;
   public TestStudent() {
      properties = new Properties();
      properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
      "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
      "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
      properties.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");
      properties.put("jnp.disableDiscovery", "true");
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      TestStudent beanStudent = new TestStudent();
      beanStudent.createBean();
   public void createBean() throws EJBException {
      try {
         InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties);
         Object object = context.lookup(StudentHome.JNDI_NAME);
         StudentHome studentHome = (StudentHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(object,StudentHome.class);
         Student student = studentHome.create();
         student.setName("pirlouit");
         System.out.println(student.getId());
         System.out.println(student.getName());
      } catch (NamingException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
      } catch (RemoteException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
      } catch (CreateException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
}Then I do quite the same thing to test local interface like in the following code but it doen't work :
public class TestStudent {
   Properties properties;
   public TestStudent() {
      properties = new Properties();
      properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
      "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
      properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
      "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
      properties.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");
      properties.put("jnp.disableDiscovery", "true");
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      TestStudent beanStudent = new TestStudent();
      beanStudent.createBean();
   public void createBean() throws EJBException {
      try {
         InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties);
         Object object = context.lookup(StudentLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
         StudentLocalHome studentLocalHome = (StudentLocalHome)object;
         System.out.println("studentLocalHome is null ? "+studentHome.equals(null));
         StudentLocal student = studentLocalHome.create();
         student.setName("pirlouit");
         System.out.println(student.getId());
         System.out.println(student.getName());
      } catch (NamingException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
      } /*catch (RemoteException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
      }*/ catch (CreateException e) {
         throw new EJBException(e);
}The print of "student local home is null ?" give me 'true' which is not the answer I want ... so here is the problem. How can I get my entity bean using local interface ?
For the moment 've got the exception (which appears on instruction "StudentLocal student = studentLocalHome.create();") :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
     at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy.invoke(LocalHomeProxy.java:118)
     at $Proxy0.create(Unknown Source)Please help !! Thank you very much !

Write a JSP to test Local Interface. You cannot call Local Interface from a remote JVM.
