Client cannot locate Container-Managed Entity Bean Sun Applicaton Server Nine

[Dr. Leff]

I cannot find my Course J2EE bean from a client. (The client

runs on the same computer but a different VM from the bean.)



In Glassfish (Sun Application Server Nine), I set up a simple

Container-Managed Entity Bean. I tried to access it from an external

client as described in the glassfish EJB

FAQ https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB-FAQ.html



Here is the client program:





package RS;

--- imports deleted for conciseness

import Debug.*;

public class Client {





public static void main (String arg[]) throws IOException {

try {

InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext ();

Object o = jndiContext.lookup("Course");

CourseHome home =

(CourseHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o,CourseHome.class);

Course C = home.create(1);

C.setName("blah");

CoursePK PK = new CoursePK();

PK.number=1;

C = home.findByPrimaryKey(PK);

Debug.P(C.getName());

}

catch (java.rmi.RemoteException re) {Debug.P("Remote Exception" +
re.getMessage());}

catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne){Debug.P("Naming
Exception"+ne.getMessage());}

catch (javax.ejb.CreateException ce){Debug.P("Create
Exception"+ce.getMessage());}

catch (javax.ejb.FinderException fe){Debug.P("Finder
Exception"+fe.getMessage());}





}

}



When I run it, I get the following Naming Exception: Course not found



I confirmed at the administrative console, that I have "Course" listed

under Enterprise Applications:



As per the ejb FAQ, I set up my $CLASSPATH so it starts as follows:



/opt/j2ee/SUNWappserver/lib/appserv-rt.jar:

/opt/j2ee/SUNWappserver/lib/javaee.jar:



I also verifed in my domain.xml that the orb-listener-1, the default

naming service port was at 3700.



Here is the info on the Bean that I have running.
