Spring EJB 3 Jndi look-up Failing

Question

Issue: Can't seem to do a jndi look-up EJB 3 in Websphsere server through the spring. Keep getting Not found for my jndi name. I'm not seeing what I have wrong. For Websphere do you have to something different for the jndi name look-up?

Took me a while to get the right question on stack overflow to find the answer. I was confused with the example above and thought it used the mapped name as the jndi name. Instead IBM has a much longer naming context pattern for JNDI look-up.

IBM Docs: EJB JNDI Naming Convention

How to override the IBM default naming and reference it - See Ed Randall's answer. Explains how to override. Stack overflow answer

Spring look-up should be:

   <jee:local-slsb id="myLocalEjb"
                     jndi-name="ejblocal&#58;ejb/myBean"
                     business-interface="spring.ejbtest.MyBeanLocal"
    </jee:local-slsb>
