I'd need more details to understand what might be going on here. If you are using POJO web services under the cxf that is installed in geronimo and looking the ejb up in java:comp/env.... then the two approaches should work identically. I'm also assuming that the ejb is running in the same geronimo instance and you are using local interfaces (although this should not affect anything).
