The above error message will occur if you select an Object using the "EJB Wizard" which is not recognized by the "Java Explorer" as an accessible remote Object. By default the EJB wizard will display the content of the JNDI registry of an Application Server, in the JNDI registry various type of objects may be registered however the only Objects that can be accessed remotely using the Java Explorer are Enterprise Java Beans (EJB"s, which are highlighted by the coffee bean icon) and RMI objects (which are highlighted by the radio antenna icon).
A grey dot before an object symbolizes that the Java Explorer does not recognize the object and that it cannot be accessed remotely. Selecting an Object prefixed with a grey dot will result in the above error message being thrown.
Please note: RMI/IIOP means that the Java Explorer can test RMI objects that use IIOP as the underlying transport protocol. It does not mean that the Java Explorer can test the IIOP protocol in general.
