Hello everyone

I am having trouble looking up ejb on the application server. I have deployed individual ejb modules in the application server and I am trying to directly access them with an application client (Swing GUI), but I am not sure why my lookup is not working correctly, because I am not getting anything back. The exception says the class is unkown, so to understand the problem better can anyone tell me what this means where the path is referring to:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext()
Object obj = (Object)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/);

so where is "java:comp/env" referring to? is this the path where the ejb is located? how can I interpret this?

Thank,
