Trying to connect to EJB on Wildfly 10.1 and getting: Session id hasn't been set for stateful component

Question

I am using the following JNDI configuration:

    final String appName = "";
    final String moduleName = "session-beans";
    final String distinctName = "";
    final String beanName = "ItemStatefulRemote";
    final String viewClassName = ItemStatefulRemote.class.getName();
    final String toLookup = String.format("ejb:%s/%s/%s/%s!%s", appName, moduleName, distinctName, beanName, viewClassName);
    return (ItemStatefulRemote) context.lookup(toLookup);

While trying to connect with a stateful bean I am getting the following error:

Session id hasn't been set for stateful component:

What can be the reason?

Answer 1

Since it is a stateful bean so will have to add the session id which can be done by using the annotation ?stateful along with the viewClassName.

So the code should be changed to:

 final String viewClassName = ItemStatefulRemote.class.getName()+"?stateful";
