Unable to invoke local interfaces in EJB 2, SJSAS 9 environment

Question

Hi,
I am unable to get SJSAS to register local interfaces for an BMP entity bean. I am new to entity beans, and am trying out a simple case using EJB 2.0 deployed on SJSAS 9. I even had tried setting source level to 1.4, but no luck.
EJB looks ok, as it was verified successfully by netbeans 5. But, I could not find the bean registerd when I verified it through the JNDI Brownsing utiltiy in SJSAS.
I get the error
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: AccountLocal not found
I have provided ejb-local-ref in web.xml, as shown below
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>NewAccountLocal</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>entity2.NewAccountLocalHome</local-home>
<local>entity2.NewAccountLocal</local>
</ejb-local-ref>

Access code:
Object obj = ctx.lookup("NewAccountLocal");
entity2.NewAccountLocalHome accHome = (entity2.NewAccountLocalHome) obj;

Answer 1

Use "java:comp/env/NewAccountBean" instead. The portion relative to java:comp/env must
exactly match the value in the <ejb-ref-name> element. There is no automatic prepending of
"ejb" to the context relative to java:comp/env.
Of course you could also keep the code the same, but change the value of the ejb-ref-name
to <ejb-ref-name>ejb/NewAccountBean</ejb-ref-name>
All that matters is that the value relative to java:comp/env and what's in the ejb-ref-name are a match.
