JNDI Properties? Why EJB can't find another EJB..

[Duffey, Kevin]

Strange thing..I posted this a couple of times too. For some reason, I can NOT get my ejb to find another ejb. I am able to find both ejbs from the servlet just fine, but I can't get one ejb to use the other. Right now its one session trying to use another..but it worries me when it comes to entity CMP use. I can only think of one problem..that my ejb is not using the proper context. I do this in the ejb:

 

Context context = new InitialContext();

Object ref = context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/EJB2");

 

That always throws a  NamingException (or it might be RemoteException..I can't remember which one it is that I always get).

 

So, looking at the ejb example(s) with Orion, it appears they all have a jndi.properties file with them, and I recall reading in my ejb book that supposedly each vendor has different settings. So the question is..do I need to create the context in one ejb with these properties set? What is the code used to find one ejb from inside another?

 

Thanks.
