Invoking EJB 3 deployed on GlassFish 3.1 from Servlet on JBoss AS 7.1.1

Question

I have a simple session EJB (3.0 spec) deployed on GlassFish 3.1 with a remote interface. Here is the log snippet showing deployment:

INFO: Portable JNDI names for EJB RandomNumber2Bean : [java:global/RandomNumberEJB/RandomNumber2Bean, java:global/RandomNumberEJB/RandomNumber2Bean!beans.RandomNumber2]
INFO: Glassfish-specific (Non-portable) JNDI names for EJB RandomNumber2Bean : [RandomNumber2, RandomNumber2#beans.RandomNumber2]

I am trying to invoke it from a Servlet deployed on a JBoss AS 7.1.1 instance on the same machine. Here is the relevant code from the servlet:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.sun.enterprise.naming");
props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.state", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");
InitialContext initialContext = new javax.naming.InitialContext(props);
RandomNumber2 randomNumber2 = (RandomNumber2) initialContext.lookup("RandomNumber2");

However, whenever I try to get the InitialContext from the servlet to look up the bean, I get the following error:

javax.naming.NamingException: JBAS011843: Failed instantiate InitialContextFactory com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory from classloader ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.RandomNumberTesterGlassfish.war:main" from Service Module Loader

I have added the client jars appserv-rt.jar and gf-client.jar from GlassFish into the build path of the client Servlet application (I am using Eclipse Juno to deploy it) and to the %JBOSS_HOME%\standalone\lib\ext directory.

I cannot find anything on the web that even mentions invoking EJB's deployed on GlassFish 3.1 from JBoss AS 7.1.1. I am totally at a loss at this point. I am able to invoke the EJB's deployed on GlassFish with a standalone client and I am able to invoke the same EJB's deployed on JBoss both from a standalone client and from GlassFish.

It is written in the log: "Glassfish-specific (Non-portable) JNDI names". So, it probably won't work from JBoss. Try this one instead:

RandomNumber2 randomNumber2 = (RandomNumber2) initialContext.lookup("java:global/RandomNumberEJB/RandomNumber2Bean");

I think you can not load the GlassFish native libraries in Jboss AppServer. I test the props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory"); config in three AppServers: GlassFish 3, Jboss 7 and WebSphere 8. The only application server that run the application properly was Glassfish. (because of com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory )

You should run your application in GlassFish. here is the full configuration:

        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial",
                "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");

        props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
                "com.sun.enterprise.naming");

        props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.state",
                "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl");

        props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "IP");
        props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");

        InitialContext context = new InitialContext(props);
        RandomNumber2 randomNumber2 =(RandomNumber2)context.lookup("RandomNumber2");

Can you try setting the below properties too

props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "localhost");
props.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "3700");
