@EJB annotation from a servlet

[Sreedevi Vinod]

hi,

I have deployed a EJB 3.0 bean in JBoss 5.0 and am trying to access it from a servlet deployed in Apache Tomcat 6.0 server. The code is
@EJB private NewHello hello; // NewHello is the business interface

The client jar of the EJB is in the classpath of the servlet and so is the jndi.properties file. However, the bean reference is not getting injected, the variable is null. Does @EJB annotation work if the client and the bean are on different servers? If it would, then what are the possible reasons why this isn't working for me?

Thanks,
Devi

I think spec does not mandate it. It's completely based on whether the server supports that
