lookup fail "Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException"

Question

i have created entity class from database then i have created session beans from entity class and and when i am trying to test that my data reach the entity class i have created a junit test on the session beans class but i got lookup fail "Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: EmpTableFacade!Beans.EmpTableFacade not found even if i used EJB injection then i tried to test my code manually by creating class that use the session beans but the same exception here .

i think that the error from Deploying staff but i don't know where i did it wrong this is session beans interface .

        void edit(EmpTable empTable);

        void remove(EmpTable empTable);

        EmpTable find(Object id);

        List<EmpTable> findAll();

        List<EmpTable> findRange(int[] range);

        int count();

    }



 and this is the test class

Answer 1

You need to expose your bean with a Remote interface. A Local interface is available only for invocation within the same JVM, which it is not your case.

The JNDI name also looks wrong. You don´t specify which ejb or server version you are using which is important to solve this kind of problem, but I think this link can help you define the correct JNDI name entry.

Also take in mind that according to glassfish doc.

Each portable global JNDI name is printed out to the server.log during deployment.
