I notice this works fine for web tier access to ejb beans, but if the web tier calls session bean FoobarA (for example) and it needs to call another session bean FoobarB then the jndi lookup on FoobarB fails. Both calls are using similar web.xml setup and jndi calling conventions you provided.
This tells me that the web.xml ejb-local-ref's are NOT exposed to the ejb tier. How do I make this jndi naming exposed to both tiers?
