Help with the local interface

[xin wen]

Hi, could anyone help me?
I create an EJB(2.0)project, which contains CMP entity beans and session beans. And also I have a java project, I want to access the entity bean. When I do this:
-------------------------
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
AliasLocalHome aliasLocalHome = (AliasLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("com/ibm/ejb/entity/AliasLocalHome");
it will give me an error:
NamingException:
"com/ibm/ejb/entity/AliasLocalHome" can not be found.
-----------------------
I added a local EJB reference to ejb.xml
and do this:
--------------------------------
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
AliasLocalHome aliasLocalHome = (AliasLocalHome)initialContext.lookup(java:comp/env/ejb/Alias);
it gave me an error:
Message='Name ejb not found in context "java:comp/env".'
[5/7/03 10:47:37:937 EDT] 21fc7586 SystemErr R Stack Trace to immediately follow:
[5/7/03 10:47:37:947 EDT] 21fc7586 SystemErr R javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name ejb not found in context "java:comp/env".
---------------------------------------
Anybody know how to locate a local home interface from a java project?
Thanks a lot!

Post your EJB-JAR.xml file.

Thanks Kyle for replying.
I am able to locate the local entity bean interface from the session bean using the local reference, but I tried to call it from a java project(not an EJB), it gave me the Naming Exception error. I wander if the local interface can not be called from anywhere except a Session Bean?
This is my ejb.jar
