accessing entity bean from session bean

[chuck keuper]

I have created an entity bean with a method getMember. My session bean has this code - for which I am receiveing a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Missing Node - Member. How do I write this lookup???
public java.lang.String getMember(Integer memberid)
{
String strMemberName = null;
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
// Object obj = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/member");
Object obj = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/Member");
MemberHome aMemberHome = (MemberHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,MemberHome.class);
Member aMember = aMemberHome.findByPrimaryKey(memberid);
strMemberName = aMember.getFname();
return strMemberName;
} catch (ClassCastException cce) {
cce.printStackTrace();
return "ClassCastException " + cce.getMessage();
} catch (NamingException ne) {
ne.printStackTrace();
return "NamingException " + ne.getMessage();
} catch (FinderException fe) {
fe.printStackTrace();
return "FinderException " + fe.getMessage();
}
}

I think your code is ok.
Do you get any exceptions at deploy time?
Have you specified a reference to the entity ejb in ejb-jar.xml (for the session ejb)?

hi
I think that it is 99% due to EJB, which is not deployed on the server.
check it out once again
regards,
Augg

I do not get any exceptions at deploy time. Code listed below.

I looked at the ejb-jar.xml and there is no reference to the entity in the session. There is a reference to the entity in the enterprise-bean. What tags am I susposed to use for the session bean to represent the entity???

This is a piece of ejb-jar.xml of a project i'm working on.
My session HousesInfo looks up for my PartyHouse bean, so i need a ref to it in:
-> ejb-jar.xml

      <session >
         <description><![CDATA[]]></description>
         <ejb-name>HousesInfo</ejb-name>
         <home>ltcmelo.session.HousesInfoHome</home>
         <remote>ltcmelo.session.HousesInfo</remote>
         <local-home>ltcmelo.session.HousesInfoLocalHome</local-home>
         <local>ltcmelo.session.HousesInfoLocal</local>
         <ejb-class>ltcmelo.session.HousesInfoSession</ejb-class>
         <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
         <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
         <ejb-local-ref >
            <ejb-ref-name>ejb/PartyHouseLocal</ejb-ref-name>
            <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
            <local-home>ltcmelo.cmp.PartyHouseLocalHome</local-home>
            <local>ltcmelo.cmp.PartyHouseLocal</local>
            <ejb-link>PartyHouse</ejb-link>
         </ejb-local-ref>
      </session>

-> jboss.xml (or your server file conf. file)

<session>
         <ejb-name>HousesInfo</ejb-name>
         <jndi-name>HousesInfoBean</jndi-name>
         <local-jndi-name>HousesInfoLocal</local-jndi-name>
         <ejb-local-ref>
            <ejb-ref-name>ejb/PartyHouseLocal</ejb-ref-name>
            <jndi-name>PartyHouseLocal</jndi-name>
         </ejb-local-ref>
      </session>

I'm refering the local interface of PartyHouseBean.

Hi,
You need to define a ejb reference for your local bean in your ejb-jar.xml in order for you to use java:comp/env
e.g.

        <session>
            <display-name>SessionFacade</display-name>
            <ejb-name>ProgrammingFacade</ejb-name>
            <home>facade.SessionFacadeHome</home>
            <remote>facade.SessionFacade</remote>
            <ejb-class>facade.SessionFacadeBean</ejb-class>
            <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
            <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
            <ejb-local-ref>
                <description />
                <ejb-ref-name>ReferedBean</ejb-ref-name>
                <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
                <local-home>refered.ReferedBeanHome</local-home>
                <local>refered.ReferedBeanLocal</local>
            </ejb-local-ref>
        </session>

Cheers.
