Hi again, just to let you know, how it works to use the com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory: For an application you should write one application-client.xml, that contains ejb-refs to all beans used by this application. This file has to reside in a META-INF folder located in the root of the application's jar - respective in the root of (one of) your classpath(s). It is intended to provide different application-client.xml files for each client, listing only the needed beans - a bit difficult while developing, since you should have an own class tree for each client application, so i fear at the end the application-client.xml will simply contain all beans in the server... I know, that this likely will not be subject to change (depends on the spec), but a possibility to assign JNDI names in the server on a per-module-base would match my needs much better... well, we got to take it like it is. BTW, is there any intended use for the com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory? Is it only for internal use? Where do i assign names for objects in the server, that will show up in this context?
