Resolution

When using implicit clustering ( vbroker.naming.propBind=1 ) to cluster EJB intances the OSAGENT is required if failover is desired at the bean instance method invocation level. This is becuase EJBHomes and the home-created Beans are registered in the OSAGENT. Only EJBHomes are registered in JNDI.

If disabling usage of the OSAGENT (e.g. setting vbroker.orb.enableLocator=false and using java.naming.providerURL or corbaloc to bootstrap beans into JNDI/NameService) since the EJB"s home interfaces are registered with the JNDI a client must use logic to obtain a new EJBHome interface, re-create a bean and call the remote methods again.
