was5.0 local CMP problem

[Robert Luozn]

I use Stateless Session Bean to act as a facade to access a local CMP.
According to was5.0 requirements, I defined ejb-local-ref in the ejb-jar.xml though the 2 beans are in the same jar file(ejb-ref-name is localPerson).
I checked ibm-ejb-jar-bnd.xmi, there are the following bindings:
<ejbRefBindings ..jndiName="localPerson"..
<bindingEjbRef xmi:type="common:EJBLocalRef" ...

I use JNDI name java:comp/env/localPerson to lookup, but got the following exception:
Reference Factory Class Name: com.ibm.ws.naming.util.IndirectJndiLookupObjectFactory
Reference Factory Class Location URLs: <null>
Reference Class Name: java.lang.Object
Type: JndiLookupInfo
Content: JndiLookupInfo: jndiName="local:ejb/localPerson"; providerURL=""; initialContextFactory=""
Exception data follows:
javax.naming.ConfigurationException: NamingManager.getURLContext can not find the factory for this scheme: local
at com.ibm.ws.naming.jndicos.CNContextImpl.checkForUrlContext(CNContextImpl.java:2574)
I really cannot figure out why. Anyone have the same problem?

You need to define the local reference inside the session bean which you want to call it from.
Hope it helps.

Yes, that's exactly the way I did. I'm now wondering the problem is maybe related to the configuration because the exception is ConfigurationException. And I think when NamingManager handle the local Reference, it cannot do with such name as "local:", but I think was ejb container should support local reference without any configuration.

Finally I figure out why. it is because the entity bean have both local and remote interface. After I remove the remote interface, it works. But I think EJB spec2.0 do support Entity Bean with both local and remote interface. So I don't know how to explain this. But it's OK, I think, because we prefer local to remote interface for entity bean
