error while running EJB from java client on JBOSS

Hi

As i am new to EJB i have created a helloworld application in ejb which is working fine when i try to call it from servlet but when i try to invoke the same ejb from java client (i.e from diff jvm) on jboss i got the following error:

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out] [Root exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server localhost:1099 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]]]

Following is my code:

Home Interface:

package com.gl;

import javax.ejb.CreateException;

public interface testHome extends EJBHome {
String JNDI_NAME = "testBean";
public test create()
throws java.rmi.RemoteException,CreateException;
}

Remote Interface:

package com.gl;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.ejb.EJBObject;

public interface test extends EJBObject {
public String welcomeMessage() throws RemoteException;
}

Bean:

package com.gl;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.ejb.EJBException;
import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;

public class testbean implements SessionBean {

public void ejbActivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void ejbPassivate() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException, RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void setSessionContext(SessionContext arg0) throws EJBException,
RemoteException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void ejbCreate(){}

public String welcomeMessage(){
return "Welcome to the World of EJB";
}

}

Client code:

package com.gl;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

public class TestClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{

try{
/* 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");
*/

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

System.out.println("Properties ok");

//env.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory");
//env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"http://localhost:8080");
//env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "");
//env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "");

Context ctx=new InitialContext(props);
System.out.println("context ok");
//testHome home = (testHome)ctx.lookup("testBean");
Object obj = ctx.lookup ("testBean");
System.out.println("ojb = " + obj);

testHome ejbHome = (testHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,testHome.class);
test ejbObject = ejbHome.create();
String message = ejbObject.welcomeMessage();
System.out.println("home ok");

System.out.println("remote ok");

System.out.println(message);

}

catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

}

}

I am able to successfully deployed my ejb on JBOSS but i m getting above error when i am trying to invoke ejb from java client.

I have also added the jar file of ejb in class path of client.

kindly suggest me something to solve this issue.

I wonder why are you still using EJB 2.0 , go for EJB 3.0 it is more simpler
