You should use RMIInitialContextFactory. ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory is only for application clients.
Also - you cannot look up "java:comp/env/" from outside the container. Don't bother prepending it. If you are using remote="true" for your ejbs, you do not need to look up the remote server yourself - this is done by the container. The following document may be of help to you: http://kb.atlassian.com/content/orion/docs/remote-access/remote-access.html If you need further help - try asking a question on our forums: http://forums.atlassian.com Cheers, Scott Chris Francis wrote: > > I originally posted this at elephantwalker but have had little response, > hopefully someone here has some ideas... > > I'm trying to lookup a bean on a remote machine.
