Glad to hear that worked well for you. If you want to specify everything dynamically you should be able to use the approach outlined here :
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/ejb/EJB_FAQ.html#nonJavaEEwebcontainerRemoteEJB (you can skip Step 3 since the GF instance
already has all the necessary code in its classpath) In this case, the target host/port are configured
as part of the InitialContext() instance itself. Then, all lookups through that context are served by the target server instance. That means
the lookup string is just the target JNDI name, without the corbaname:iiop.. prefix.

But then after development the same project will be deployed to different environments such as UAT, Production and a few other environments in between. This would mean every time we deploy the same project to a different environment the deployer would need to rememeber to change the host name/port in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file so that they can point to the target environment that the project is being deployed into.
