JNDI Lookup hangs with AppServer 8

Question

Hi,
I created a simple SessionBean on Sun One AppServer 8.
I wrote a standalone application that you can find below. What is does is in a loop, create an initial context and lookup the EJB.
The problem is that after a few iterations, it hangs.
I realized that the number of iterations is equal to half the size of the thread pool.
What am I doing wrong here? I used the same example on AppServer 7 and it works fine.
Thanks for your help

Answer 1

context.lookup("corbaname:iiop:arwen:13700#SessionEJBSession");Is it necessary to lookup everytime? You can cache the object and just retrieve it.
