Lookup ejb's in action classes

[joi <jo...@maskina.com>]

I have a problem performin lookup on my ejb's in struts action classes.
I always get NameNotFoundException. I'm pretty sure that my ejb-jar.xml
and web.xml are correct. Is this a common  problem accessing the Context
through the struts action classes? 
I'm using orion 1.5.2 app. server.
 
Code from my action class..
..
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object homeObject = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejbUserManagement");
//throws NameNotFoundException here.
home = (UserManagementHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeObject,
UserManagementHome.class);
..
As I said before I am pretty sure that my ejb-jar.xml and web.xml are
correct so what could be causing this? I've tried almost everything I
can think of..
Any ideas..

MessageYou must have the following in your web.xml file
 
<ejb-ref>

  <ejb-ref-name>ejbUserManagement</ejb-ref-name>

  <ejb-ref-type>Entity(or Session)</ejb-ref-type>

  <home>home bean here (e.g. project.package.UserManagementHome)</home>

  <remote>remote here (e.g. project.package.UserManagement)</remote>

</ejb-ref>



after that, you must also have the following in the server-specific config file (e.g. in weblogic, it is weblogic.xml)



<ejb-reference-description>

  <ejb-ref-name>ejbUserManagement</ejb-ref-name>

  <jndi-name>jndi name of your bean</jndi-name>

</ejb-reference-description>



Or for more simple, you should use this instead :

Object homeObject = ctx.lookup("JNDI name of your bean here");
home = (UserManagementHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeObject, UserManagementHome.class);

  hi,
   
  i use the jndi-browser that comes with sun's jndi-examples once in a while
  to check if my context contains what i expect to. on my last project with
  orion (but i did not use struts) i also set
   
  java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory
  java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost/appname
  java.naming.security.principal=user here
  java.naming.security.credentials=password here
   
  even though i call this from inside my jsps and it should possibly be not necessary - but it works.

  hope that helps.
