Oops, things were quite not the way I first described them: it looks like the Schedulable class that is invoked has never a way to retrieve the ejb home, except that these Homes are cached (the lookup took place in a helper class), so that later retries didn't need to lookup the jndi context, but found the ejb Home in the cache. Sorry for the mis-post. The question can now be changed into: is there a way for the Schedulable class to access the jndi context where the ejbs are bound? This what the "java:/" context in the Schedulable class contains: - jaas (instance of javax.naming.Context) | - TransactionPropagationContextImporter (instance of org.jboss.tm.TransactionPropagationContextImporter) | - JmsXA (instance of org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsConnectionFactoryImpl) | - JBossCorbaNaming (instance of org.omg.CosNaming.NamingContextExt) | - DefaultDS (instance of org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrapperDataSource) | - StdJMSPool (instance of org.jboss.jms.asf.StdServerSessionPoolFactory) | - TransactionManager (instance of org.jboss.tm.TxManager) | - JBossCorbaPOA (instance of org.omg.PortableServer.POA) | - TransactionPropagationContextExporter (instance of org.jboss.tm.TransactionPropagationContextFactory) | - ConnectionFactory (instance of org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionFactory) | - jdbc (instance of org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext) | - DefaultJMSProvider (instance of org.jboss.jms.jndi.JNDIProviderAdapter) | - XAConnectionFactory (instance of org.jboss.mq.SpyXAConnectionFactory) | - JBossCorbaInterfaceRepositoryPOA (instance of org.omg.PortableServer.POA) | - Mail (instance of javax.mail.Session) | - JBossCorbaORB (instance of org.omg.CORBA.ORB) | - timedCacheFactory (instance of javax.naming.Context) | - SecurityProxyFactory (instance of org.jboss.security.SubjectSecurityProxyFactory) | - comp (instance of javax.naming.Context)
