Link Exception for Entity bean Lookup

[John Vergis]

Hi,
I have deployed an entity bean called TestBean with JNDI name as "ejb.TestBeanHome" and ejb-name as "TestBeanJDBC" in WLS81, When i am trying to look up for this bean from my client code, i get the following exception:-
Exception ...javax.naming.LinkException: [Root exception is javax.naming.LinkException: [Root exception is javax.namin
g.NameNotFoundException: remaining name: /app/ejb/EntityProj.jar#TestBeanJDBC/local-home]; Link Remaining Name: 'null'];
Link Remaining Name: 'java:app/ejb/EntityProj.jar#TestBeanJDBC/local-home'

could ne1 help me out in figuring what is amiss over here...

thanks
Johnny

Hi,
Pls refer to my thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=13&thread=472298. The problem lied while defining my jndi-name for that bean.
In order to use remote invocation with EJBs, you must have the Home/Remote interfaces.
If your "client" of EjbB was not an EJB, you can use reflection carefully, such as from a stand-alone application. But within the container, you cannot use reflection, ergo you must use the interfaces.
And just because the two JAR files are on the same machine, even "running" in the same JVM, doesn't mean a durn thing. Typically, they're in different ClassLoaders, which means that they cannot "see" each other - and you have to rely on the container's remote invocation to access them.
