EJB Accessing Stateful Session Bean NameNotFoundException

Question

I'm using a stateful session bean to create a shopping basket. I'm having trouble accessing my bean and am getting the following error

ERROR BasketBean#ejb.remote.BasketBeanRemote -- service jboss.naming.context.java."BasketBean#ejb.remote.BasketBeanRemote"javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: BasketBean#ejb.remote.BasketBeanRemote -- service jboss.naming.context.java."BasketBean#ejb.remote.BasketBeanRemote"

I think the problem is in my lookup

final InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
BasketBeanRemote basket = (BasketBeanRemote)context.lookup("BasketBean#ejb.remote.BasketBeanRemote");

I'm not exactly sure what to put in the lookup string

My BasketBeanRemote is in a package called ejb.remote and my BasketBean is in ejb.beans in my ejb project

What should go in the lookup? I'm accessing it from my war project.

Answer 1

I seem to have found the answer from this post

I needed the @EJB annotation on the servlet:

@EJB(name="BasketBeanRemote", beanInterface = Bean.class)
private BasketBeanRemote basketBean;

Then lookup in the service method can happen using the name bound by the @EJB annotation:

BasketBeanRemote basket = (BasketBeanRemote) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/BasketBeanRemote");

Answer 2

final InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
BasketBeanRemote basket = (BasketBeanRemote)context.lookup("YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/BasketBean/remote");
