Help Please ! --Lookup failed for local-jndi-name created by workshop

[Hong Li]

I use workshop to generate a entity bean from database table. Everything looks fine, it generated, build and deployed. But when I using console to test this bean or using a client(within another session bean or servlets) to do lookup on this bean, I got the error saying "NameNotFoundException ...".

Error

Client code(within a session bean in the same JVM)

Long l = new Long("9090");
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
PersonHome home = (PersonHome) ctx.lookup("PersonBeanHome");
Person bean = home.create(l);
