Standalone EJB client lookup in Glassfish4

Question

Spent half a day solving the problem of ejb client lookup in glassfish 4.

The bean:

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class TestBean implements TestRemote{
    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "testunit")
    private EntityManager em;
    public String sayHello() {return "hello";}
}

The remote business interface:

@javax.ejb.Remote
public interface TestRemote {
    public String sayHello();
}

Client lookup code, tried the following variants (the client can be in another machine, but in this test they are running on the same machine):

new InitialContext().lookup("java:global/myproject/TestBean");
new InitialContext().lookup("java:global/myproject/TestRemote");
new InitialContext().lookup("TestRemote");
new InitialContext().lookup("TestBean");
new InitialContext().lookup(TestBean.class.getName());

The project is deployed as a war (myproject.war).

Answer 1

This works:

new InitialContext().lookup("com.example.TestRemote");

Answer 2

If you're using glassFish, it normally says what the portable JNDI name is in the logs e.g:

INFO:   EJB5181:Portable JNDI names for EJB ProductsBean: [java:global/products-ejb/ProductsBean, java:global/products-ejb/ProductsBean!com.sample.product.ejb.ProductsRemote]

so yours will be along the lines of:

java:global/<ejb-module-name>/TestBean

This looks similar to your question but I could not tell whether "myproject" was the Enterprise Application Name or the EJB Module name...

or

java:global/<enterpriseApplicationName>/<ejb-module-name>/TestBean!<package_of_remote>.TestRemote
