selected bean is not in the same module or enterpr

Just a shot in the dark, but do I need a local interface to call a remote stateless EJB?

when I try call the bean remotely through Netbeans:

Netbeans doesn't allow a remote call, or any call, on this bean. Why not?

Trying to do it manually, as below:

What is the jndi global remote name for the Remote EJB which is deployed on glassfish?

INFO:   visiting unvisited references
INFO:   visiting unvisited references
INFO:   EJB5181:Portable JNDI names for EJB MyRemoteSessionClass: [java:global/RemoteSalutation-ejb/MyRemoteSessionClass!net.bounceme.dur.glassfish.MyRemoteSession, java:global/RemoteSalutation-ejb/MyRemoteSessionClass]
INFO:   RemoteSalutation-ejb was successfully deployed in 941 milliseconds.

If possible, I would rather specify the class in the properties file rather than hard-coded. In any event, different variations result in a lookup failure. Here's the stack-trace:

    }
}

the remote EJB:

package net.bounceme.dur.glassfish;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

//@LocalBean
@Stateless(mappedName = "salutationBean")
public class MyRemoteSessionClass implements MyRemoteSession {

    @Override
    public String SayHello() {
        return "hello from glassfish..";
    }

    @Override
    public String SayBye() {
        return "goodbye..";
    }
}

note that the interface is remote, ie: it's literally a Java class library. Correct? This makes the EJB remote.

referencing:

https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/javaee/entappclient.html

although I changed the names a bit..otherwise should be exactly as the tutorial.

Try Object o = ic.lookup("salutationBean"); Note that mappedName specifies the name to use in JNDI for a remote access.
