check location="..." for your bean in orion-ejb-jar.xml
Try to do
Context ctx=new InitialContext();
Object obj=ctx.lookup("com.company.Caller"); // or whatever JNDI name you
have in location in orion-ejb-jar.xml

P.S. It is very nice that you initialize Properties but you should use them
in constructor, i.e.
Context ctx=new InitialContext(properties);
As I understand you might need that only if you remotely connect to
application server. Everything works fine even without it from JSP at least
in Orion and WebLogic.
