I am getting the error (...) javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: greetJndi not bound
This means that nothing is bound to the jndi name greetJndi, very likely because of a deployment problem given the incredibly low quality of this tutorial (check the server logs). I'll come back on this.
Is there any specific directory structure to deploy in JBoss?
The internal structure of the ejb-jar is supposed to be like this (using the poor naming conventions and the default package as in the mentioned link):
.
+-- greetBean.java
+-- greetHome.java
+-- greetRemote.java
+-- META-INF
+-- ejb-jar.xml
+-- jboss.xml
But as already mentioned, this tutorial is full of mistakes:
<enterprise-beans>] <-- HERE) in the ejb-jar.xml (!)PUBLIC in the ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml (!!)jboss.xml is incorrect, it should contain a session element instead of entity (!!!)Here is a "fixed" version of the ejb-jar.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>greetBean</ejb-name>
<home>greetHome</home>
<remote>greetRemote</remote>
<ejb-class>greetBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
And of the jboss.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 3.2//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_3_2.dtd">
<jboss>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>greetBean</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>greetJndi</jndi-name>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</jboss>
After doing these changes and repackaging the ejb-jar, I was able to successfully deploy it:

That tutorial needs significant improvement; I'd advise from staying away from roseindia.net.
