I'm having some difficulty working out the intricacies of JNDI and
ejb-local-ref elements in ejb-jar.xml

I have a simple entity bean with a local interface that can be found with a
lookup on "local/TemplateEntity", i.e.

            lCtx = new InitialContext();
            TemplateEntityHome teHome =
                (TemplateEntityHome)lCtx.lookup("local/TemplateEntity");
            TemplateEntity templateEntity = teHome.create();

This works.

I have a Session Bean with an ejb-jar.xml descriptor file,

<ejb-jar>
    <enterprise-beans>
        <session>
            <ejb-name>ejb/TemplateSession</ejb-name>

 
<ejb-class>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSessionBean</ejb-class>
            <home>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSessionHome</home>
            <remote>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSession</remote>

            <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
            <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
        </session>
    </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

(I have removed description and display-name elements for succinctness.)

I want to add an ejb-local-ref element in something like the following
manner;

<ejb-jar>
    <enterprise-beans>
        <session>
            <ejb-name>ejb/TemplateSession</ejb-name>

 
<ejb-class>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSessionBean</ejb-class>
            <home>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSessionHome</home>
            <remote>com.activis.ejb.session.TemplateSession</remote>

            <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
            <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
            <ejb-local-ref>
              <ejb-ref-name>TemplateEntityX</ejb-ref-name>
              <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
 
<local-home>com.activis.ejb.entity.TemplateEntityHome</local-home>
              <local>com.activis.ejb.entity.TemplateEntity</local>
              <ejb-link>local/TemplateEntity</ejb-link>
            </ejb-local-ref>
        </session>
    </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

or possibly,

            <ejb-local-ref>
              <ejb-ref-name>TemplateEntityX</ejb-ref-name>
              <ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
 
<local-home>com.activis.ejb.entity.TemplateEntityHome</local-home>
              <local>com.activis.ejb.entity.TemplateEntity</local>
              <ejb-link>TemplateEntity</ejb-link>
            </ejb-local-ref>

I would have thought I should now be able to lookup the TemplateEntity bean
from TemplateSessionBean with something like;

            lCtx = new InitialContext();
            TemplateEntityHome teHome =
                (TemplateEntityHome)lCtx.lookup("local/TemplateEntityX");
            TemplateEntity templateEntity = teHome.create();

or

            lCtx = new InitialContext();
            TemplateEntityHome teHome =
                (TemplateEntityHome)lCtx.lookup("TemplateEntityX");
            TemplateEntity templateEntity = teHome.create();

or

            lCtx = new InitialContext();
            TemplateEntityHome teHome =
                (TemplateEntityHome)lCtx.lookup("ejb/TemplateEntityX");
            TemplateEntity templateEntity = teHome.create();

But nothing seems to work.  What am I doing wrong?  The jboss.xml file for
TemplateEntity is just,

<jboss>
   <enterprise-beans>
      <entity>
         <ejb-name>TemplateEntity</ejb-name>
         <jndi-name>TemplateEntity</jndi-name>
      </entity>
   </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>

Thanks,
Bruce
