Cant access EJB from a J2SE client - Lookup Failed Error

[Rajesh Khan]

I am using Netbeans and am experimenting with EJBs.

I have two projects (2 separate applications)

1- A J2EE Project called EnterpriseApp

2- A standard J2SE Project called Test

Now Here is what I did - in EnterpriseApp I generated a stateless EJB called TestEJB with both local and remote interfaces. For the remote project selection I selected the Test App. In short the bean code looks like this

@Stateless
public class TestEjb implements TestEjbRemote, TestEjbLocal 
{
    @Override
    public String Try() 
    {
        return "Hello World";
    } 
}

And in the J2SE client Project here is my main class through which i am trying to access the bean

public class Main 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        try 
        {
                Properties props = new Properties();
                props.load(new FileInputStream("jndi.properties"));
                InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
                TestEjbRemote testEJB = (TestEjbRemote) ctx.lookup("stateless.TestEjbRemote");
                System.out.println(testEJB.Try());
        } 
        catch (NamingException nex) 
        {
                nex.printStackTrace();
        } 
        catch (FileNotFoundException fnfex) 
        {
                fnfex.printStackTrace();
        } 
        catch (IOException ioex) 
        {
                ioex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }


}

This is the contents of JNDI.properties file

java.naming.factory.initial = com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs = com.sun.enterprise.naming
java.naming.factory.state = com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl
#optional. Defaults to localhost. Only needed if web server is running
#on a different host than the appserver
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost = localhost
#optional. Defaults to 3700. Only needed if target orb port is not 3700.
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort = 3700

And I get this error at
TestEjbRemote testEJB = (TestEjbRemote) ctx.lookup("stateless.TestEjbRemote");

javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'stateless.TestEjbRemote' in SerialContext[myEnv={org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700, java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory, org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=localhost, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming} [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: stateless.TestEjbRemote not found]
