I mean I'm using
@EJB private static MyBean mybean;
on the client

Just wondering if I'm missing any additional configuration, yes jndi properties
somewhere.

BTW I'm writing up a how-to on OpenEJB+Tomcat (specifically the multi-instance and
not the single instance of OpenEJB in Tomcat) I was about to post it on my blog
assuming it would've worked per instructions but I'm having problems.

thanks,
Dario
