//Properties for jboss
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:1099");

//obtain a jndi server reference
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);

//Get a home Interface reference
Object loginEjbObj = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/LoginBean");

//Typecast this object into a home interface type
//use this if we use remote home method
LoginHome home =
(LoginHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(loginEjbObj,LoginHome.class);


//Obtain a remote interface
Login loginObj = home.create();

// Call the EJB's validation method

if(loginObj.validateUser(s_user_Name, s_password))
{


Can anyone tell me why on earth do i get the exception ?????
