Glassfish 3 and Remote EJB Access

[Brendan Speer]

I'm having some trouble with trying to get access to Remote EJBs deployed in an EAR to a Glassfish 3 server.

The EBJs seem to deploy correctly, because when I deploy it says this:

[#|2010-09-02T15:11:17.986-0500|WARNING|glassfish3.0.1|org.apache.catalina.connector.Request|_ThreadID=38;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|PWC4011: Unable to set request character encoding to UTF-8 from context , because request parameters have already been read, or ServletRequest.getReader() has already been called|#]

I use the following code to try and read the EJB:

 package com.parispresents.edi.testediclient;


import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import com.parispresents.edi.readedi.ReadEDI850FileRemote;

public class TestEDIClient {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		
		InitialContext ctx;
		try {
			ctx = new InitialContext();
			ReadEDI850FileRemote edi = (ReadEDI850FileRemote)ctx.lookup("java:global/ParisEDI/ReadEDI/ReadEDI850File");
			edi.readFile("Foo");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			
		}
		
	}

}
   

When I run the code inside of Eclipse, it gives me the following error:

 javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound for java:global/ParisEDI/ReadEDI/ReadEDI850File [Root exception is java.lang.NullPointerException]
	at com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.lookup(javaURLContext.java:224)

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.sun.enterprise.naming.java.javaURLContext.lookup(javaURLContext.java:218)
	... 3 more
   

I have tried both on the remote server and on a server local to the dev environment. I am including the gf-client.jar and the Client EJB Jar in my project, and I've read the Glassfish EJB faq several times to go through different scenarios. This seems like a pretty trivial example, but I can't seem to get it to work. I don't think it's even contactign the glassfish server, because if I change the -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost property in the VM options, I get the same error. I must be missing some crucial step.


== Thanks.
