JNDI name not bound

Question

Hi. I'm going crazy trying to fix this exception: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: lawless not bound

This is a Stripes web app built in Intellij and being deployed on Jboss 4.2.3 (Using 4.2.3 because Stripes has issues with later versions. I have successfully used 4.2.3 in the past so I know that's not the problem). I have one session bean called "ListingManagerBean". I checked the jboss jndi tree, and its nowhere to be found. So it seems the problem is that the jar isn't being deployed. I looked in my ear file, and it has both the war and jar. The ear structure looks like this:

lawless.ear
|- lawless.jar
|- lawless.war
|- [a bunch of other jars]
|- META-INF
   |- application.xml
   |- MANIFEST.MF

application.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
             version="5">
    <display-name>Lawless</display-name>
    <module id="Lawless-EJB">
        <ejb>lawless.jar</ejb>
    </module>
    <module id="Lawless-Web">
        <web>
            <web-uri>lawless.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>/</context-root>
        </web>
    </module>
</application>

Am I missing something? Help please.

You can check the server logfile and follow the deployment of your ear file. If the jar file cannot be deployed you'll find it there and a more or less meaningful error message pointing to where to look for the error.
