Entity Bean Lookup Exception

Hi,
I am using IPlanet NAS (SP1).
I want to call an entity bean from session bean. However i get lookup(Naming) exception.
The same code works fine when i call the bean from a servlet.
Can you tell me the possible reason for the look up failure fron S bean. Is there any other method to b followed in case of bean referring another bean ?
Other than findbyPrimaryKey the other finder methods give me an exception. I guess i dont have to write the code in my EJB class ??
Please help me on this.
regards

It's hard to tell, with no code posted. Remember that in EJB 1.1 you have to specify the remote referenced in the deployment descriptor with the "ejb-ref" tag.

Well i am pating the code which i have used both in servlet ( which works) and the S'less session bean.

String JNDI_NAME="TestAcc";
javax.naming.Context initial=null;
java.util.Hashtable env =new java.util.Hashtable(1);
try{
initial = new javax.naming.InitialContext(env);
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("could not get initContext");
}
try{
Object objref = null;
objref = initial.lookup(JNDI_NAME);
//objref = initial.lookup("TestAcc"); // tried this also
TestAccHome home = (TestAccHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, TestAccHome.class);
TestAcc duke = home.create("1", "Duke", "Earl", 50.00);
}
catch(javax.naming.NamingException e)
{
System.out.println("Lookup exception ");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Lookup exception " + e);
}
I get "Lookup exception "

I guess this should be helpful to you.
