I've been having problems trying to call an EJB's method from a Java Application Client. Here is the code.

EJB Remote Interface

package com.test;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface HelloBeanRemote {

    public String sayHello();

}

EJB

package com.test;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless (name="HelloBeanExample" , mappedName="ejb/HelloBean")
public class HelloBean implements HelloBeanRemote {

    @Override
    public String sayHello(){

        return "hola";

    }

}

Main class (another project)

import com.test.HelloBeanRemote;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;

public class Main {


    public void runTest()throws Exception{

        Context ctx = new InitialContext();
        HelloBeanRemote  bean = (HelloBeanRemote)ctx.lookup("java:global/Test/HelloBeanExample!com.test.HelloBeanRemote");
        System.out.println(bean.sayHello());

    }


    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {

        Main main = new Main();
        main.runTest();

    }

}

Well, what is my problem? JNDI entry for this EJB cannot be found!

I've trying with different JNDI entries but nothing works (I got this entries from NetBeans console):

INFO: Portable JNDI names for EJB HelloBeanExample : [java:global/Test/HelloBeanExample, java:global/Test/HelloBeanExample!com.test.HelloBeanRemote]

INFO: Glassfish-specific (Non-portable) JNDI names for EJB HelloBeanExample : [ejb/HelloBean, ejb/HelloBean#com.test.HelloBeanRemote]

So I tried with the following entries but I got the same exception :

java:global/Test/HelloBeanExample
java:global/Test/HelloBeanExample!com.test.HelloBeanRemote
ejb/HelloBean
ejb/HelloBean#com.test.HelloBeanRemote

I'm using Netbeans 6.8 and Glassfish v3!
