Earlier in tomcat 3.1 i use to get context by following Context ctx = new InitialContext(); Object obj = ctx.lookup("mybean"); Then in tomcat 3.2.3 i follow following technique, which i suppose is applic able to all j2ee compliant servers Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put( javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.inprise. j2ee.jndi.CtxFactory" ); env.put( javax.naming.Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "com.inprise.j2ee.jn di" ); Context ctx = new InitialContext(env); Object obj = ctx.lookup("mybean"); ---- This is reference to the Borland AppServer, pls do check for the JBOSS implementation of it, u may have to include few class files in ur class path . regards asheesh ----- Original Message ----- From: Vel Periasamy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 4:48 AM Subject: How to call EJB's from Servlet in a portable J2EE way? > We're planning to build a Servlet/JSP application(using Tomcat). > We might also use EJB's if required (using JBoss). > > What's the best portable J2EE way to call EJB's on JBoss from a > servlet in Tomcat?
