Accessing the local interface of an Session EJB from a WAR

[Norbert Rieger]

Hello,

I try to connect from my web application to an existing Session EJB
(MfcSession) thru it's local interface.
Both, the WAR and the EJB, are running within the same geronimo
installation. When installing the web app I get the following message:

Deployer operation failed: Could not find an EJB for reference MfcSession to
a local session bean that has the home interface
de.lplusr.module.mfc.ejb.MfcSessionLocalHome and the local interface
de.lplusr.module.mfc.ejb.MfcSessionLocal
org.apache.geronimo.common.UnresolvedEJBRefException: Could not find an EJB
for reference MfcSession to a local session bean that has the home interface
de.lplusr.module.mfc.ejb.MfcSessionLocalHome and the local interface
de.lplusr.module.mfc.ejb.MfcSessionLocal

How do I connect to an EJB thru it's local interface, what's wrong with my
configuration ?

Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

Norbert


This is my configuration:

JDK 1.5.0_10
Windows XP Prof


web.xml:

        <local>de.lplusr.module.mfc.ejb.MfcSessionLocal</local>
        <ejb-link>MfcSession</ejb-link>
