Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

We have JRun3 as application server. I am new to JRun.

I am having problems in deploying and executing/calling the EJBs.

The configuration here at my work is
1) they dont have ejb-jar.xml file
2) The EJB JAR files are specified in the deploy.properties file.

The problem I have is: My application is not recognizing the EJBs at all. When I am trying to do "lookup" I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException

Here is where I am getting the problem

Ref home = (Ref)ejbCtx.lookup("ex.RefHome");

Can someone please let me know, what are the steps needed in JRun to deploy EJB JARs (without using ejb-jar.xml)

Thanks in advance
