Lookup an EJB Implementation by jndi name

I am new to the jndi namespace and I am trying to lookup my EJB class from a service class through below code

InitialContext ctx;
        try {
            ctx = new InitialContext();
            ctx.lookup("?????");
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

But I really don't have any clue what to put inside lookup. I know that jndi name goes there. But from where can I get the jndi name for my ejb class. I am new to this thing and really can't devote much time in learning JNDI.

Solution

  • Refer server log file. When EJb beans are deployed. It looks something like this

    JNDI bindings for session bean named SampleImpl in deployment unit subdeployment "sample-web-1.0.0.war" of deployment "xyz.ear" are as follows:

    Sample code to lookup an EJB bean. 

    final Hashtable jndiProperties = new Hashtable();
jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");
final Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);
SampleIf sif = (SampleEJBIf) context.lookup("java:app/sample-ejb-1.0-SNAPSHOT/SampleImpl");
