jndi for ejb on jboss

[Suma Rangaraj]

Hi all,

Please let me know how to give a jndi name for jboss 4.0.1. I am trying to access teh ejb by its context name but it returns a null pointer exception. Thank you !
Below is the code -

try {
Context ic = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ic.lookup("myjndi");

 home = (EJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, EJBHome.class);

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

To access or look up any EJB, one would have to use the jndi-name mentioned in the jboss.xml file.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss>
     <enterprise-beans>
      <entity>
        <ejb-name>MyEJB</ejb-name>
        <jndi-name>MyEJBjndi</jndi-name>
        <local-jndi-name>MyEJBlocaljndi</local-jndi-name>
      </entity>
      <secure>false</secure>
     </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
 

Use the jndi-name or local-jndi-name given in the jboss.xml file to look up ur bean.

  
InitialContext ctx = getInitialContext(); //
Object ref = ctx.lookup("MyEJBjndi");
MyEJBHome hm = (MyEJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,MyEJBHome.class);
