Hi, how do you connect to the server ? If you are running a real java client (dont know, if it works from jsp...), try the following to retrieve the InitialContext: m_Factory = "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory"; // The application-name is the one you specify in the orion server.xml m_Url = "ormi://<host>/<application-name>"; try { // You could change the environment for the process permanently, too... Hashtable h = new Hashtable(); h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,m_Factory); h.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, m_Url); if (m_User != null) { h.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, m_User); if (m_Password == null) m_Password = ""; h.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, m_Password); } m_jndiContext = new InitialContext(h); } catch (NamingException ne) { // TODO: Check for type of error and distinguish... } catch (javax.ejb.EJBException ee) { // TODO: Check for type of error and distinguish... } And ensure, that in your ejb-jar.xml is the following <enterprise-beans> <entity> <description>no description</description> <display-name>[Bean name to be displayed]</display-name> <ejb-name>[JNDI Name for the home]</ejb-name> <home>[Full qualified home class]</home> <remote>[Full qualified remote class]</remote> <ejb-class>[Full qualified implementation class]</ejb-class> <persistence-type>[Bean / Container]</persistence-type> <prim-key-class>[Full qualified primary key class]</prim-key-class> <reentrant>False</reentrant> </entity> ... </enterprise-beans> and in your application.xml something like <application> <display-name>file:/opt/java/orion/applications/BaseModule/</display-name> <description>Application description</description> <module> <ejb>[either the ejb.jar or the folder where the unpacked bean(s) are placed]</ejb> </module> </application> and in the server xml <application name="[Application name]" path="../applications/[folder or ear]" /> On server start, orion should print something like: Auto-deploying [application name]... Auto-deploying [module name]... done. Orion/0.9.4 initialized I'm not sure, but i think, orion is placing the JNDI bindings for each application in an own context, so on connect you have to give the application name in the uri. Hope that helps ! Jens Stutte -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ALLEN FOGLESON [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 23.

I am still feeling out the 1.1 spec and I was afraid maybe I had missed something really important. Now at least I know I am not going crazy. I have been pulling my hair out on exactly the same problem.

I tried to bind something else into the naming registry with: Context context = new InitialContext(); Integer test = new Integer(23); context.bind("test", test); list(context, 0); and it works ok. So I know it's not the registry that is having problem. What could be the problem? Are there any logs? This is all I get from ORION: E:\work\orion>java -jar d:\java\orion\orion.jar Auto-deploying com/citysearch/ejb/ClassType... done.

I wrote a program that iterates the registry. I see the following: Context: jdbc Binding: DefaultPooledDS --> com.evermind.sql.DefaultConnectionPoolDataSource Context: xa Binding: DefaultXADS --> com.evermind.sql.DefaultXADataSource Binding: DefaultDS --> com.evermind.sql.ConnectionDataSource Context: java:comp Binding: ServerAdministrator --> Proxy0 Binding: Administrator --> Proxy1 Binding: ResourceFinder --> Proxy2 When I try to bind to java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean I get an exception: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean not found at com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.lookup(JAX) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:354) at com.citysearch.ejb.ClassType.ClassTypeClient.main(ClassTypeClient.java, Compiled Code) I don't think the home is binding to the naming registry since it is not under java:comp.

Try to use fully qualified JNDI name, i.e. instead of ejb/MyBean use java:comp/env/ejb/MyBean. I had the similar problem and that was the solution, kind of confusing, though... Please, let me know if it did not work for you ;-] -----Original Message----- From: Alex Paransky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2000 12:46 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Please help, with deploying EJB bean.... Everything is deployed but, the home is not bound to the registry, or I cannot find the home in the registry. What configuration file do I need to check? Thanks. -AP_
