Hi, I'm an EJB newbie. I wrote a stateless session bean and deployed it with orion server. Accessing it from servlets/JSPs that are included in the .ear file by configuring the xmls works fine. But I do have a problem figuring it out for standalone clients. What are the exact steps that should be taken in looking up, creating and accessing a bean from a standalone client that resides on another machine given the following deployment descriptors: ejb-jar.xml and orion-ejb-jar.xml ?
