I wanted to follow up and explain how I resolved this problem.
First, because I was using code I had written using Jonas, there were
EJB-1.0 coding styles in the code (namely the code to get the InitialContext
and the bean's Home) that had to be updated. I fixed the call to get the
InitialContext, added <ejb-ref> elements to application-client.xml to define
the environment properties I needed to get the bean Homes, and changed the way
that I called the initialContext.lookup() to use the ejb-ref property names.
Second, I had a statement in the code to set the security manager to an rmi
manager, apparently because Jonas required this for their Java 1.1 support:
System.setSecurityManager( new java.rmi.RMISecurityManager() );
Of course, that statement ultimately ended up being the reason for the access
denied errors I was seeing. The minute I removed that line, the access denied
errors disappeared.
It all works now.
