JNDI Lookup Problem (General Problem)

Question

hi all,
i am newbie on bea products, but i have some experience on java technologies, how i fount on bea documentations and forums many people has the same problem like this, can anybody help us (me)?
problem: how is it possible to write simple client for j2ee server application? i found some posts about jndi lookup, and fount about j2ee client, but is there any doc or example how to write this j2ee client ???
i worked with many application servers and i have no problem with them (JBoss, Sun App Server, IBM Websophere, Oracle AS etc.)
some people told about jndi tree on Web Logic Server Administration console , i found this tree i my session beans looks like :
Binding Name:
TimestenExampleTimestenExample_jarInsertSubscriberBean_InsertSubscriber
Class:     
test.InsertSubscriberBean_o7jk9u_InsertSubscriberImpl_1000_WLStub
why is so strange name for class or binding name ????
my session bean name is : InsertSubscriber
and it's implementation : InsertSubscriberBean
how i can lookup from client ?????
can anybody show me code snippet ???
my client looks like :
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NameClassPair;
import javax.naming.NamingEnumeration;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import org.hibernate.property.Dom4jAccessor.ElementGetter;
public class Client {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Context ctx = null;
          Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
          ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
                    "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
          ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://192.9.200.222:7001");
          try {
               ctx = new InitialContext(ht);
               InsertSubscriber usagefasade = (InsertSubscriber) ctx
                         .lookup("java:comp/InsertSubscriber");
          } catch (NamingException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } finally {
               try {
                    ctx.close();
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
}can anybody show me what is there incorrect ????
oo yes and i have weblogic.jar file into my client classpath.

Hi,
Your EJB client looks fine.
You should use the JNDI name of your ejb while doing the lookup. i.e :
InsertSubscriber usagefasade = (InsertSubscriber) ctx.lookup("..use JNDI name of EJB...");
You can use the JNDI name of the EJB that you see in the JNDI tree of weblogic. [don't use Binding Name or Class name]. you can also specify the JNDI name by "jndi-name" attribute in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
