Where dose your java class redise.
Do both ur EJB and java file reside in same container?

I guess the problem is with JNDI. It is not able to get the Initial Context. If your java program is somewhere in other JVM, then U have to specify where your JNDI reside using Properties and Env variables.

I am not sure what could be the property values for Websphere. May be u can google to get those values.

Hope this helps

if u r calling from outside the container, give app servers initial context factory as param fro lookup
