Weird exception:

Recently, I have been getting this error from my applet:

16:54:30 [unknown class] [ERROR] Exception caught. Stack trace

Does anyone know what this means? If the java:comp/env namespace is
only available from within a J2EE component, then how is it possible
to program a client or applet which should communicate with my EJBs?

The code creating the error is:

    private static final EJBHome getHome(
    String remoteInterfaceName,
    String moduleName,
    String beanType
    )
    throws ClassNotFoundException, NamingException {
        if( DEBUG ) Log.debug( "getHome( " + remoteInterfaceName + "
" + moduleName + " " + beanType + " )", instance );
        final StringBuffer homeName = new StringBuffer(
"com.telenor.mobil.planit." );
        homeName.append( moduleName.replace('/', '.') );
        homeName.append( ".ejb." );
        homeName.append( beanType );
        homeName.append( "." );
        homeName.append( remoteInterfaceName );
        homeName.append( "Home" );
        
        if( context == null ) {
            if( env != null ) {
                context = new InitialContext( env );
            }
            else {
                context = new InitialContext();
            }
        }
        
        final Object homeObject = context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/"
+
        moduleName + "/" + remoteInterfaceName );

yours,
