Call business logic // HelloBusiness helloBus = (HelloBusiness)ctx.lookup("custom/remote/HelloBusiness"); //helloBus.sayHello(); }

private static HelloBusiness doLookup() {
Context context = null;
HelloBusiness bean = null;
try

{ // 1. Obtaining Context context = ClientUtiliy.getInitialContext(); // java.lang.Object ejbHome = context.lookup("HellowWorldEJBEAR/HellowWorldBean/remote"); // 2. Generate JNDI Lookup name // String lookupName = getLookupName(); // 3. Lookup and cast bean = (HelloBusiness) context.lookup("HelloBusiness"); // bean = (HelloBusiness) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ejbHome, HelloBusiness.class); }

catch (NamingException e)

{ e.printStackTrace(); }

return bean;
}

Have used @RemoteBinding annotation in the bean with the jndiBinding="HelloBusiness'
