problem creating ejb from one orion in a other orion

[juan]

hello
my problem is the following: i want to perform some little loadbalancing 
without the loadbalancing tool from orion. the scenario is the following:
the client creates a ejb in the first orion server, and this bean makes a 
lookup to another orion server and creates a second bean on the other server. 
for now it was impossible to me to create a bean from one orion server into a 
other orion server. everytime i make a lookup from a ejb to a bean into a other 
orion server it searches the bean in the same orion server instead of searching 
the bean into a other orion server.

now the codefragment which creates the initialcontext ( this is part of a 
method into the first ejb )   
   
java.util.Hashtable env = new java.util.Hashtable();
env.put
(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server
.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
      env.put
(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.PROVIDER_URL,"ormi://10.2.0.17/Third");
      env.put(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
      env.put(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"123");

Context ic = new InitialContext(env);

Object Obj = ic.lookup("Third");

now by calling this method i get the following error meassages:

java.lang.NullPointerException: domain was null

i suppose the error domain was null has it's origin in the fact, that the Third 
bean i am looking for is not installed in the first orion server, but only in 
the second one.

now, what can i do to create a ejb from a ejb which is lokated into a other 
orion server like the first one?


thanks, johannes rainer
