javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed

Hi,

This is not a Web Application. It is about Application Client Container (ACC). I am trying to access EJB from a remote location. Server and client are not in the same machine.

There is a tutorial at Netbeans website where the Application Client and Enterprise Application both are in a server.

http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/javaee/entappclient.html

It is a very small tutorial. This JEE project just prints a single line.

I am trying to make the Application Client access the EJB from a remote location. Hence, I have modified the client code. I have also created jndi.properties file.

        
try {
            
            Properties props = new Properties();
            
            InputStream is =
                Main.class.getResourceAsStream("jndi.properties");
            
            props.load(is);
            
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
            
            MySessionRemote mySession = (MySessionRemote) ctx.lookup("stateless.MySessionRemote");
            
            System.err.println("result = " + mySession.getResult());
            
        } catch (NamingException nex) {
            nex.printStackTrace();
        }        

This is my jndi.properties file

java.naming.factory.initial = com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs = com.sun.enterprise.naming
java.naming.factory.state = com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl
#optional.  Defaults to localhost.  Only needed if web server is running
#on a different host than the appserver
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost = localhost
#optional.  Defaults to 3700.  Only needed if target orb port is not 3700.
org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort = 3700

On this line below in client side code

MySessionRemote mySession = (MySessionRemote) ctx.lookup("stateless.MySessionRemote");

I have error

javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'stateless.MySessionRemote' in SerialContext[myEnv={org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700, java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory, org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=localhost, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming} [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: stateless.MySessionRemote not found]

It works, instead of jndi.properties, if I use

@EJB
private static MySessionRemote mySession;

The problem is, as far as I know, @EJB annotation is applicable when the Application Client resides in the same machine with the EJB.

What is/are my mistake/s?
