JBoss Cluster EJB Remoting - jboss

Question

I currently have a JBoss instance running with standalone-ha.xml as the config file. JBoss 7.1.1 Final. I have deployed a basic HelloBean inside a .jar called ClusterTestEJB inside an .ear called ClusterTest.
HelloBean:
package com.sample;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.Clustered;
#Stateless
#Clustered
#Remote
public class HelloBean implements HelloBeanItf {
int counter = 0;
public String doSomething() {
return "HelloBean Called";
}
}
The HelloBeanItf is as follows:
package com.sample;
public interface HelloBeanItf {
public String doSomething();
}
I got the code from a tutorial I was following.
So I have everything seemingly working. I am now trying to write a java client to invoke that EJB. Here is that code:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import com.sample.HelloBeanItf;
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args){
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");
p.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);
p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "remote://mynode:4447");
InitialContext ctx;
try {
ctx = new InitialContext(p);
} catch (NamingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
HelloBeanItf ejb = null;
try {
ejb = (HelloBeanItf) ctx.lookup("java:ClusterTest/ClusterTestEJB//HelloBean!com.sample.HelloBeanItf");
} catch (NamingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
for (int ii=0;ii<10;ii++) {
ejb.doSomething();
}
System.out.println("Terminated");
}
}
Here is client side log output:

I have tried the following:
Removing the remoting security realm, removing the username and password. I am not sure what else to try at this point.
First time poster, so let me know if more details are needed or if you have questions.
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

For the record, the inability to execute the EJB was fixed by upgrading from 7.1.1. to 7.1.3. After the upgrade, I was still getting the SASL exception, but the EJB was executing successfully.
The SASL exception was resolved by switching to using the ejb-client instead of the remote-naming libraries and adding clustering properties. Remote naming does not do load balancing anyway, so the switch was necessary for me.
