Looking up an EJB

[Sam Suresh]

hi,
i am new to j2ee..
i hav one existing enterprise application.
when it is build using ant script it creates an EAR file and gets deployed on the jboss server.
i am writing a standalone java program inside the application only, in eclipse to access one EJB of my deployed application. I hav one framework running for my application.
The interface class of the EJB extends the services of the framework.
i wrote the following code to lookup the ejb say named - xyzEJB, which has a interface class xyz.

xyzEJB myBean;

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming rg.jnp.interfaces");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://localhost:1099");

try{
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);

//InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

Object object = ctx.lookup("xyzEJB");

myBean = (xyzEJB) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( object, xyzEJB.class);
}
catch (NamingException e){
System.out.println("Error"+e.getMessage());
}

when i am running this java file i am getting the following error - xyzEJB not bound.

Please let me know if any one can guess wat i m doing wrong....or how can i remove this is error, and access the EJB

TIA/Sam

Sam,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

Is "xyzEJB" the name of your EJB in the JNDI? (You can check your deployment descriptors to check this.) Usually names look like "ejb/xyzEJB".
