No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:,modulename:HelloWorldSessionBean,distinctname:]

Question

I'm trying to develop my first EJB with an Example I found, I have the next mistake:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:,modulename:HelloWorldSessionBean,distinctname:] combination for invocation context org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext@41408b80

at $Proxy0.sayHello(Unknown Source)
at com.ibytecode.client.EJBApplicationClient.main(EJBApplicationClient.java:16)

I use JBOSS 7.1, and the code is this: HelloWorld.java package com.ibytecode.business;

import javax.ejb.Remote;

@Remote
public interface HelloWorld {

    public String sayHello();


}

HelloWorldBean.java package com.ibytecode.businesslogic;

import com.ibytecode.business.HelloWorld;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

/**
 * Session Bean implementation class HelloWorldBean
 */
@Stateless
public class HelloWorldBean implements HelloWorld {

/**
 * Default constructor. 
 */
public HelloWorldBean() {
}

public String sayHello() {
    return "Hello World !!!";
}

}

EJBApplicationClient.java:

package com.ibytecode.client;

public class EJBApplicationClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    HelloWorld bean = doLookup();
    System.out.println(bean.sayHello()); // 4. Call business logic

}

 private static HelloWorld doLookup() {
        Context context = null;
        HelloWorld bean = null;
        try {
            // 1. Obtaining Context
            context = ClientUtility.getInitialContext();
            // 2. Generate JNDI Lookup name
            String lookupName = getLookupName();
            // 3. Lookup and cast
            bean = (HelloWorld) context.lookup(lookupName);

        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return bean;
    }


 private static String getLookupName() {
     /*
     The app name is the EAR name of the deployed EJB without .ear suffix.
     Since we haven't deployed the application as a .ear,
     the app name for us will be an empty string
     */
             String appName = "";

             /* The module name is the JAR name of the deployed EJB
             without the .jar suffix.
             */
             String moduleName = "HelloWorldSessionBean";

     /*AS7 allows each deployment to have an (optional) distinct name.
     This can be an empty string if distinct name is not specified.
     */
             String distinctName = "";

             // The EJB bean implementation class name
             String beanName = HelloWorldBean.class.getSimpleName();

             // Fully qualified remote interface name
             final String interfaceName = HelloWorld.class.getName();

             // Create a look up string name
             String name = "ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" +
                 distinctName    + "/" + beanName + "!" + interfaceName;

             return name;
         }


 }

ClientUtility.java package com.ibytecode.clientutility;

        initialContext = new InitialContext(properties);
    }
    return initialContext;

This is what I have. Why I have this?. Thanks so much. Regards

please write your code here , and we will tell how how to fix. Also tell me what server do you use, and which version is this server. — grep, Nov 11 '13 at 08:53
I have edit the question and I have posted the code. Regards and thanks — zoit, Nov 11 '13 at 09:07
another question: client and server run on the same machine? did you imported in your client the jboss-client.jar? — LMG, Nov 11 '13 at 09:32
I have the next jar when I run the configuration: jboss-client.jar, jboss-j2ee.jar and others jar as well and yes, they run in the same machine. — zoit, Nov 11 '13 at 09:37
well in this hypotesys, since i suppose them to run on the same virtual machine you can use the Local and not Remote interface.. — LMG, Nov 11 '13 at 09:42
@constantlearner, so what do you suggest?, how can I solve it?. Regards — zoit, Nov 11 '13 at 09:49
please check moduleName. see my answer :) (may by this is your project name) — grep, Nov 11 '13 at 10:02
I found the solution in this thread: [link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11976412) Hope it helps. — Hugo Hernandez, Aug 08 '14 at 07:21

Let's try with the following, I can't type it in a comment because it goes pretty long.

Seems that everything is fine, you can also leave the @Remote without any problem. I will also assume that you get the right path to your EJB: how to check it?

When you deploy it you should see in the server console something like this:

ejb:{app-Name}/{module-Name}/{distinct-Name}/{bean-Name}!{fullPath-remote-Interface}

EG: the first one is the one you are interested in (from lookup)

java:global/MyBankLogicEAR/MyBankLogic/Account!main.IAccount
java:app/MyBankLogic/Account!main.IAccount
java:module/Account!main.IAccount
java:jboss/exported/MyBankLogicEAR/MyBankLogic/Account!main.IAccount
java:global/MyBankLogicEAR/MyBankLogic/Account
java:app/MyBankLogic/Account
java:module/Account

I will try to change the look up in the following way

final Hashtable jndiProperties = new Hashtable();
jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");

try {
    final Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);
    String appName = "";
    String moduleName = "jboss-firstbean";
    String distinctName = "";
    String beanName = "FirstBean";
    String interfaceFullName = "ejb.RemoteFirstBean";
    final String jndi = "ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" + distinctName + "/" + beanName + "!" + viewClassName;
    RemoteFirstBean statelessRemote = (RemoteFirstBean)context.lookup(jndi);
} catch (NamingException ex) {
    System.out.println("problems");
}

this is taken from Accessing remote EJB on JBoss AS 7.1 from web application , I also suggest you to check step 5 in very same page in order to understand if you need to configure other properties in your jboss-ejb-client.properties file..
